What’s TRULY fascinating is that these are the same people who BRUTALLY attacked Walz’s son, choosing to completely disregard autism in that instance- they just wanted to make fun of him. But now suddenly autism means you can be a nazi and it’s…okay? Make it make sense.
My oldest is on the spectrum and their biggest pet peeve is people blaming bad behavior on Autism. Being autistic doesn’t give you a pass to be an asshole.
Absolutely! He lived in an apartheid country and he supported AfD before the salute! He knew what he did!
Just like Trump knew when he told proud boys to stand in and stand by!
This is one of my peeves. Although Autistic people CAN have ADHD or similar diagnosis, they are not the same thing. Too many people who self diagnose are trying to blur the distinction, including Elon,
Why can’t people seem to understand someone can be autistic and a Nazi? He might be autistic, but he is definitely a white supremacist. Both things can be true and completely unrelated.
Ah yeah! Have someone very very very close to me that is very very very smart on the spectrum, never has he ever done a Nazi salute he is actually the opposite and an advocate for all good.
Our son was diagnosed with high functioning autism at 14. Like Musk, who I despise, no one knows he's on the spectrum unless you know him well or he feels safe sharing w/you. He's taken a lot of abuse from people like you who believe he is not on the spectrum. Everyone is affected differently.
I agree that autism certainly does not make one a Nazi, but it does explain some of Musk's social behaviors. And while we have no proof that he is on the spectrum, both his mother and brother have stated that he was diagnosed as a child.
I have worked with a lot of kids with Asperger's, Autism, and other mental health disabilities. None of them behave like Elon Musk. I keep telling people that he acts more like an asshole than someone with Asperger's. I wish I could see some of the notes from his childhood therapist!
It’s weird how we’ve seen an increase in the numbers of autism spectrum diagnosis, but we haven’t seen the same increase in those awkward, uncontrollable sig heils.
It's funny-- I've known lots of people with varying flavors of autism but I honestly get the impression that he is really just high for some of his public appearances.
Abuse of controlled substances would explain a lot . . .
He says he's autistic, but maybe he is just an entitled heir to apartheid emerald mine wealth who has to buy attention and pay for friends because he's such a fucking narcissist asshole. It's not the same as autism.
You say "living with high functioning autism" as if it is a bad thing. I come from a family with generations of people who would now be diagnosed as autistic. Being autistic does not excuse bad behavior. Plenty of us are living with autism, but know being a Nazi is bad.
A very good example: After our son was diagnosed with high functioning autism, one of our very good friends said to us, "He can't be autistic, he has empathy for others." Lots of BS is being spread about autism throughout this thread and I'm a truth teller. I provide awareness to idiots.
Also, please stop adding to another's comment. Just read what is written. I never said autism is a bad thing. If you knew what you think you know, you'd see how autism affects some of Musk's behavior in small ways. People constantly judge our son bc he rarely physically shows he is on the spectrum.
My son has struggled greatly bc people who think they know what high functioning autism "looks like" have decided he is not autistic, including teachers and a principal with two autistic children at home. I'm simply saying stop comparing autistic people with other autistic people. It's a spectrum.
He was the kid on the playground, jumping in front of everyone while waving his arms and yelling, PICK ME, PICK ME! with every bit of air in his lungs. As a rich adult he bought picks but that only works until you're no longer needed...he's finding that out now.
My great granddaddy was one of the first in the caves during wwii. Now his grandson is a Nazi and voted against his only daughters and queer/ trans family. Granddaddy is rolling in his grave after imploring us to always beat down fascism. Shame.
Fellow Missourians, please contact your rep to oppose SB No 72. They’re trying to imprison undocumented immigrants for life, create hotline & rewards to turn them in, and a special bounty hunter program.
I've known a lot of people that have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (including my daughter). Two quick things:
1) Elon Musk have never been diagnosed with ASD. People just assume that.
2) None of the neurodivergent people I know has randomly thrown a nazi salute.
You should be responsible now & respond to all these people who are spreading false information about autism & explain how it affects everyone differently. People with autism are usually not Nazis, but there's a lot of incorrect info here that is very hurtful to all people living with autism.

Just wanted to brag a little.
a neo nazi gang sunk their teeth into them and they were lost, in minutes
the anger.....the rage
just activated, no different than pushing the button on a keurig
It's not a free pass
“Yeah, they’re blaming it on autism.”
“WHAT?!?!”
Just like Trump knew when he told proud boys to stand in and stand by!
