You got anything to back that up, besides speculation and ableism?
Elon Musk publicly disclosed he has asperger's syndrome....

Thanks for that. Sorry for being so aggressive there. I had just come from a discussion on another site where someone tried to insult Musk by calling him autistic because of the way he walks, and I carried some of that anger over here.
Hey, no worries. It happens to the best of us, and it's really big of you to admit that and recognize it in yourself.
I wasn't saying he is autistic as an insult (I'm also a bit neurodivergent), more recognizing his disabilities and acknowledging that his masking may result in some socially unacceptable characteristics. It is also really easy to be misunderstood and then find yourself in a socially difficult quagmire. It happens to me all the time and I don't have a billion eyeballs watching my every move. I summarize this by calling it "dumb", which again, I don't mean as insulting.
I do think when you create something as valuable as something like Tesla, you should be held to a higher standard and not jeopardize the mission as a public figure being controversial. If you can't contain that, then you hire people to lead the company who can.
Anyway, I appreciate you. Thanks for the civility. We are all on this planet growing together, I much prefer being friendly, patient, and understanding.
I mean he said he's on the spectrum when he hosted SNL two years ago. Given his track record that probably means he isn't, but don't worry it's coming in the next firmware update.
Speaking of ableism...
I'm just making fun of him for constantly promising features that don't exist, then saying they'll come in a future update when it ships without them. À la the full self driving demo in 2016 that turned out to be fake.
I understand your joke now, but it misses the mark here. A lot of disabled people tell people what they are and people question them and attack them for it, saying things like "well you look fine" etc, so it is a really clear form of ableism (which was the context here).
