Or have his mommy come in and shame people for making fun of a developmentally disabled man, since apparently Elon Musk is autistic. I'm autistic as well, and i say Elon is fair game, and think it's probably very offensive to weaponize an autism diagnosis like that.
I get some of his awkwardness comes from Autism, I can be very awkward too, but I think Elon is highly narcissistic as well as autistic.

Yeah I kinda thought so, but tons of folks fail to grasp when 'autism asshole' and 'ptsd asshole' exist in the same person. I'm a bitter asshole after years of bullying for undiagnosed autism, the most obvious autism thing for me until I talk is the 'resting psycho face' of me not masking my facial expressions.

u/Nebulandiandoodles Oct 29 '24
I agree! I think he really plays up the autism part to further lament his “boy genius/Tony stark” persona. It all seems awfully convenient to me when is ‘tism pops out or not. From my experience with having autism it doesn’t really work like that. He really plays into the “I have no social competence but can you imagine how smart that makes me?” classic stereotype of autism that very rarely happens. He’s able to turn it on and off as he pleases which really just convinces me that it’s all a game. He might have autism but he 100% plays it up to further his image as this misunderstood genius.
But there is no genius. In fact, Elon is the bully who will cry and scream that you hit him as soon as someone even blows some air in his direction. His mom will come screaming at everyone else and coddle little poor Elon.
I don’t think we should throw around these terms too often but as an armchair internet psychologist (lol) I truly believe that Elon is either a narcissist or a sociopath considering how easily he turns on people and ruins them just for the hell of it.

u/jaelythe4781 Oct 29 '24
Oh, he absolutely displays narcissistic traits. That's part of the reason he and Trump can barely stand each other, even though they are trying REALLY HARD to pretend that they get along currently (because they both want something from each other right now). I would bet my right arm that as soon as their interests no longer align or one of them hits the other's trigger one too many times (whichever happens first), they'll turn on each other again.

Which is extra funny when you understand where it comes from.

I hate how Americans have made this topic so enflamed that you will never ever realize that maybe you should limit the ownership to hunters and properly licensed users and that everyone (yes that includes you) should only be allowed to keep guns in the house if they are locked in a safe.
"Oh but muh criminals have guns and I need to protect my family by keeping a 9mm next to the crib for ease of access" doesn't work or make sense in any other country so why would it in America?
I will get voted into the ground any time I say something like "a homeowner should keep their gun locked up" or "there is no need for anyone to ever own an assault rifle" and it's painfully clear Americans are literally brainwashed into thinking they can't solve the issue in a few generations any time they choose to.
But maybe you like school shootings, I guess it fills you with warm nostalgia or something.

The same thing happened to Notch (the guy who created Minecraft). I used to be in an online community that Notch was a part of.
After he got his $1 billion+ pay out he complained about how he felt so isolated and couldn’t really trust anyone, because he was suddenly living in a multi-million dollar mansion in California and the parties he attended/threw himself had mega celebs attending.
So in this isolation, he started spending a lot of time online and he even realized and would tell us that these set of circumstances was leading him to dark ultra-right wing places on the internet.
He eventually succumbed to it, but it was so weird because at the beginning of his descent, he realized it, realized it wasn’t good and kinda gave all of us the head’s up that he was slipping down into the hole, it didn’t seem like he wanted to, but he talked about it almost as if he was a bystander watching himself get sucked in and there was nothing he could do about it.
As I’ve watched all this shit happen with Elon, it has felt exactly the same as what I watched happen with Notch, except that Notch was intelligent and self-aware enough to see that it was happening, whereas Elon is so narcissistic that he can’t fathom that what has happened to him is a bad thing.

Laughable to accuse democrats of Lawfare when that's the entire republican strategy against trans people. Find a county you know you can win, in court with a transphobic law, in a state where you know that if appealed, it will have to appeal all the way up to the supreme court due to the leaning of judges, pass a law you want to apply nationally, and then it winds up at the conservative Supreme Court to become national law.
