While technically correct, fascism and transhumanism are deeply intertwined in their quest to eliminate suffering through technology. That’s pretty much what the Nazis propagated with genocide as their tool of choice to achieve a “healthy race” or whatever. You will see a lot of self proclaimed transhumanists (and especially the rich ones) are really just anti-humanists in their methods. Elon Musk doesn’t want to develop brain chips to cure illnesses. He lies. He wants to own us.
When you say “a lot of” you are talking about less than ten people. They are just the loudest ones because they literally own their media platforms. I’m sure there are orders of magnitude more scientists and just scifi fans who dream of transhumanism for the good.
Have you considered that maybe rich are inherently evil? Or maybe forcing the thing on other people is the evil part, not the thing itself?

The Autism speaks movement is far bigger than ten people so I have to strongly disagree here.
