Don't censor or cuteify words like nazi or names like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Cute euphemisms or replacements may be necessary on centralized platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Insta, YouTube, etc. It's not necessary here and it harms understandability.
You can — and should — just call racism racism and racists racist. A wider number of people will be able to accurately understand what you're saying if you just use the right words.
Using the actual names of people at least once per post lets people decide when and where they're going to read whatever vile horseshit various people are up to. It harms no one. It's just good practice.
