I mean, he's clearly trying to run the place into the ground

Is he?

With his being on the spectrum social things are not his strong point, and this is all social.

I think he probably thinks he's fighting a good fight, doesn't see how big a fucking hypocrite he is, and is running it into the ground at warp speed because of it.

Edit: or he's turning it into a right wing cess pool intentionally, but he doesn't think he's running it into the ground. Either way, I don't think he wants to be running it into the ground.

Don't blame his autism. Seriously. I'm autistic. My wife and two sons are also on the spectrum. The people I care most about outside my own family are on the spectrum.

None of us act like this. This is entirely 100% Elon Musk is a terrible human being.

Don't excuse his behavior.

Don't shift the blame onto us.

Don't use his shitty personality, his shitty world views, or his current actions as a reason to insult us further.

His actions are his own, and he alone is responsible for being this terrible of a person.

I have never once met a single person on the spectrum who actually acts like Elon at all. I promise you, this is all Elon's own personal narcissistic attitude and that's it. He is a rich entitled billionaire and that's it.

His autism is not an excuse for this shitty behavior, his autism is not an excuse to be this cartoonishly evil. His autism is not an excuse. Stop using his autism as an explanation for any of this. He is simply a rich person with horrible ethics and morals. His autism didn't make him like this. This is his entire life's choices and faults.

I'm not excusing his behavior. He's not an asshole because he's on the spectrum.

But running a social media company is probably something he will struggle with more than other companies because of it.

He can't run twitter like he runs SpaceX or Tesla. It's a whole different beast.

Nah that's a cop out. He changed the name to X so it's his baby he's going to abuse like the rest of his kids.

It's fascinating how the narrative have shifted.

Before buying Twitter:

He doesn't need to buy Twitter, he can back out the deal at any time. He's not stupid to waive his due diligence. He's the smartest and richest person to ever live on this planet.

After he's forced to buy it:

  • He's going to solve bot problem in Twitter.

  • He's going to make it the best freeze peach platform

  • He's going to make Twitter profitable

Fails miserably and it is tanking despite trying his hardest keep it afloat by making it a right wing haven:

He's clearly trying to run this place to the ground, This was his plan all along.

The mental gymnastics is amusing to say the least.
