      He has never been officially diagnosed with autism. He just claims he has Asperger’s (no longer an official diagnosis) and uses it as an excuse to do horrible things.

      And autism does not excuse the horrible things he says and does.

        Too be fair, as a person on the spectrum with very good track record of recognizing other neurodivergents on the spot.

        Elon absolutely reads and acts as a neurodivergent and within that group mostly resembles autism.

        Having said that, to wield that like an excuse his vile and idiotic behavior is simply wrong.

        Everyone on the spectrum is unique, has some great gifts and some deeper flaws. I bet there are intelligent stuff hes good at but i dont believe for second he has what it takes to be a leader of any kind. He’d probably be better suited as an valued assistant to a real expert that knows what task/responsibilities to give and not give to him.

        When i look at musk i see a broken person sick with Addiction of money and power.

        The majority of autists are very progressives we have huge ties to the roots of the lgbt movement. Many of us have an inherent desire for fairness and equality. But Elon Musk has gone so deep in the rabbithole of finding survival within egocentrism he is beyond saving, no longer having the ability to see the world around it as it is.

        Ketamine is psychedelic, those tend to aid the mind into seeing their own flaws and become the better version of themselves. I find it really telling that it does not seem to work on Elon and almost proof that he is actively focused about not coming to terms with reality and refusing to work on hisself. Possibly because he scared shitless that he might feel a guilt from his conscience if he does. Easier to just pay your problems away and hope the atheist are right.

              If you read it, it’s about Elon saying that it is true that Jews oppress white people. (Jews are white, FYI.)

                  He’s really obviously being a bigot. For fuck’s sake.

                  And do you know Jews are white? Because you’re defending a guy saying it’s true that they aren’t.

                  But sure, being a bigot isn’t bad… what the fuck is wrong with you?

          No, it’s not on the autism spectrum because it isn’t a thing. It isn’t real.

          And unless you have some medical expertise in the area, you deciding he has autism based on traits you think autistic people have is just bigoted against people with autism. Because that is not in any way in your wheelhouse.

          Do you also decide on whether or not someone is gay based on ‘gay traits?’

      I don’t think we need to tarnish autistic people with whatever the fuck is going on in Elon’s oddly shaped head.
