I had long suspected that he's on the spectrum, and earlier this year he came out and openly talked about his Asperger's diagnosis.
That's not to say that excuses his terrible treatment of other people, but it sure explains it.
- selykg 5y agoWell, that makes some amount of sense. Certainly doesn't excuse it. Perhaps he needs to rethink how he communicates with people, maybe putting someone between himself and how he communicates with the public. "No, Elon, think about what this could possibly do if you said this" type of person. Either way. He's super polarizing. Some people love him. Some people totally despise him. It's probably clear which side I'm on lol
- kiba 5y agoI had long suspected that he's on the spectrum, and earlier this year he came out and openly talked about his Asperger's diagnosis. I don't think that confirms he has Asperger's. He said it on SNL as a joke.

- enraged_camel 5y agoI don't believe it was a joke? I watched the bit and it certainly didn't come across as one.
- radihuq 5y agoI can't find the exact timestamp but at the beginning of this podcast[0] Jason Calacanis talks about his experience joining Musk backstage at SNL, as well as how that Asperger's joke came to be. If I recall correctly, I think its confirmed, or at least strongly implied, Musk does have Asperger's EDIT: they start talking about it at the 7:00 mark [0] https://youtu.be/GE0iWGNXKXw?t=420 https://youtu.be/GE0iWGNXKXw?t=420
