Proof of how much a person can overcome with staggering generational wealth, malignant narcissism, and unstoppable entitlement.

Elon isn’t very bright but also he has daddy issues. His dad is a horrible person (for many reasons) who is more than happy to publicly talk shit about his son mixed with occasional backhanded compliments, and Elon will just never be good enough in his eyes, no matter how many billions he has. We all suffer for this.
Now as much as I want to make fun of Elon, a good deal of kids with autism/adhd/etc were given that antequated label back in the day (30+ years ago).
Honestly I think he has more of a “never had to face any consequences or pushback” issue than intellectual impairment per se.
Edit: To clarify, he may or may not be autistic, but autism does not imply cognitive or mental impairment.

Is anyone else sort of put-off by some of these ‘*autism, lol*’-type comments, when people should be critiquing this guy for literally hundreds of other reasons?
Critique the guy: for neglecting his fucking children, for crushing unions, for being transphobic, for being anti-democratic, for favouring voter ID laws, for his narcissism, for facilitating hate speech online and in real life, for hoarding incomprehensible wealth as social mobility wanes across the board, etc… Take your pick, because the list is almost endless.
But If a friend, family member, colleague, or maybe neighbour who was neurodivergent were to see some of these comments, do you think it’d make them feel good about themselves?

I dislike Elon as much as the next person, but are we seriously going to start bringing Errol Musk into the debate? That guy was a world class villain.

So, we’re all just giving up on verified sources now? You realize it makes us just as shitty as Conservatives who refuse to vet their sources, right? I hate Elon Musk, but wtaf is AF Post other than a blog by someone who hates conservatives? After a little digging, looks like Errol said this on a podcast with host MacG from South Africa. Elon has autism. A lot of people believed that autism was a developmental disability back in the 70’s and 80’s when we didn’t understand it the way we do today. I caution anyone from readily accepting the r-word in this case. Just because someone is a fucking monster, doesn’t mean they exist this way as a result of their autism. Please be sensible.

He isn’t a bad person because he has a disability, he’s a bad person because he makes selfish choices that cause material harm.
People without disabilities can and do just as much evil. I don’t see the point in this post.

He’s not stupid he just lacks emotional intelligence. And doesn’t understand what it means to be a man.
He’s a product of his surroundings . His inability to see the big picture is his biggest weakness.
Growing up hasnt truly belonged to anything and now wants to be accepted by one group or another
His happiness depends on peoples’ validation of him
If you live for others, you’ll never be happy no matter how many billions you have
It’s a shame . At one point in his life, he seemed like he was on the right track to achieve great things.
Now his legacy is heading to the same section as Stalin, Hitler, and Putin .

Musk is very obviously on the autistic spectrum. That’s not something people were paying much attention to, 50 years ago when he was a kid.

Elon Musk has publicly stated that he has Asperger’s syndrome (autism), which, when he was little, the R word to describe such a thing was commonplace.
That entire family is vile AF.
His dad also married his stepdaughter so let’s not lionize the old racist too quick.
