    Autistic or not, he’s still a fucking cunt and is fully aware of what he does.

    thank you. a picture may say more than a 1000 words, but one meme can drive a point home better than 1000 books.

    Wait so now mental disorders are made up? Or is only his fake because you don’t like him now?

    Try and be consistent please.

    You can’t spend years and years fighting for people to take mental health and mental disorders seriously then turn around and say his aren’t real.

    I have been around a lot of autistic people in my life. My older brother is autistic. My mom teaches special education kids. He most certainly seems moderately to severely autistic.

    Also don’t forget Hanlons Razor in this situation.

        The very same woman I saw the left bashing a few weeks ago when she said said they everyone should have more babies even if they can’t afford them?

        Is she a credible source of information or a fuckin moron like her son?

      We would be able to give him the benefit of the doubt if he hadn’t been dogwhistling this entire time, or endorsed the far right.

      That is how Democrats do it lately. Before when you told them Joe Biden was too far gone to stay in they’d claim you’re a Russian Nazi racist Trump supporter. If you were black they’d say they hope you end up back in the fields picking cotton. If you’re gay they’d say they hope you get hung up a tree.

      I don’t know what you think you’re responding to. Your response has very little to do with what I wrote.

      Hanlon’s Razor says to “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” If there is one thing that is absolutely crystal-clear, it’s that Musk’s evil behaviour cannot adequately be explained by stupidity.

    People with autism don’t do well with unwritten social rules.

    “This is a Nazi salute; don’t do it” seems like about the most expressly taught social rule there is.

      He did it twice, too.

      This was obviously deliberate and calculated.

      There is no way Musk is autistic. He is a master social manipulator. His extreme ability to manipulate people for personal gain requires exactly the kind of social hyperawareness, in a neurotypical-dominated environment, that is incompatible with being autistic.

      There’s certainly something going on with him, but autism ain’t it.

        I am autistic, and I think Elon is as well.

        He does not have an extreme ability to manipulate people via charisma and social awareness.

        He has a lot, a LOT of money, and was able to play well into the trope of a high functioning autistic genius.

        He is not actually a genius, he is probably actually dumber than your average person, but he tricked people into thinking he was a high functioning autistic genius by consistently lying about how hard he works and multi tasks.

        He typecast himself for a public image, and it worked.

        He’s the idiot’s idea of a genius, he acts like he’s Shelton, he’s Cumberbatch Sherlock, he’s Dexter from Dexter’s lab… but he is not actually very smart… go watch the Twitter take over Twitter Spaces he did where he’s exposed as not even understanding what a software stack is beyond a corporate buzzword level… he’s very, very bad with people, but he has enough money and power he can threaten people with lawsuits or being fired.

        In actuality he is a narccissist authoritarian leader with an ego as fragile as a stick of mechanical pencil graphite, and consistently makes terrible staffing and leadership and business decisions, and then throws temper tantrums when his employees cannot solve a problem he created by making a stupid design decision.

        His programming at what eventually became PayPal was so bad that it all had to be thrown out and rewritten.

        At Tesla and SpaceX, he has people who’ve been hired by his immediate subordinates to basically constantly distract Elon from making actual business decisions as much as possible by providing him a constant stream of fluffed up meaningless good news, because he only fucks things up.

        He has a massive, absurd need to be accepted by the communities he admires, which led him to becoming an edgy meme troll lord, then just buying Twitter, and telling all the advertisers to go fuck themselves, during an episode of what 4chan would call ‘tard rage’ or a ‘tism episode’.

        He has a well established pattern of grandiose thinking, mania periods and depressive periods.

        The problem is that investors and many people in general are so stupid that they either fall for the fake genius front, or actually just live vicariously through his ability to insult and be outrageous toward other people, similar to how Trump gained mass popularity by putting on a convincing enough front as a successful businessman and also being an outrageous boor.

            Thank you!

            I’m much better at expressing myself in writing than in spontaeous, impromptu speech.

            Autism, and what not.

            Ssdly, Elon doesn’t seem to be much of a writer.

            You’d think he’d hire like… speech writers? PR people? But oh wait, he has more ego than brains.

        Agreed

        There is no way Musk is autistic.

        Personally I’m not so sure about that. There are probably multiple things going on with him.
