      He’s also “on the spectrum”, but using that term just makes people call you a superfan apologist, so that’s off the table. “Neurodivergent” also applies, but that word is now synonymous with persecuted virtue, so no luck there. There’s really no socially acceptable way to look at his behavior in any halfway objective manner, because “halfway objective” means superfan apologist. He’s become an anger-only subject.

        What are you even saying? The term for him is fascist.

          Yeah I know, the only acceptable way to discuss certain people is to scream how terrible they are and how much you hate them. I’m curious about the nature of behavior, and IMO Musk is behaving very differently now than say 20 years ago, which interests me. To you this probably looks like worship. Oh well.

            I hear you. I used to work at SpaceX. The current motherfucker is not the person I had exposure to, who wasn’t that terrible or that great, except for some novel approaches to problems.

            His quirks have amplified, his god complex has ascended to the multiverse, and he’s now so far out of touch that he might as well already be on Mars.

            Also the drugs. He’s winning the war on drugs by not leaving any for others.
