Autistic stereotypes do not equal a legendary performance.
Not a Musk defender, either. I find him as despicable as most of y'all do.

Have you ever watched comedy? lmao π€£
No, I get it. But take away the context and I doubt most people would have known it was even supposed to be Musk.
What were the autistic stereotypes? I honestly just saw him mimicking Elon
The over exaggerated movements and speech patterns, mostly. Musk is an awkward guy, but they just took it to an absurd level in my opinion.
That's not a stereotype of low support needs autism. That's just Elon being weird.
If you look at their parody of other people who are non autistic but wacky, you'll find the same exaggeration.
"they took it to an absurd level"... And you think a comedy sketch show should have chilled with the exaggeration to be more realistic?
I think a "Legendary Performance" would have been a little more subtle. The joke was more about mannerisms, and that alone just isn't deserving of "Legendary"
They can't all be legendary, bud. If they were, the definition of legendary would have to be changed.
What??
I'm not arguing that anything -is- legendary.
No, you're arguing that it SHOULD be.
Not at all. I'm arguing that it wasn't.
So you're arguing with an article title? Nobody in the comments said it was legendary.
No, the post just links to the SNL cold open, and my original comment was a top level comment.
Are you a bot? π§
I didn't click on or look at the link, I figured it was an opinion piece. That's my bad
