    Anyway why was Felon using ketamine? Its an antidepressant and causes suicidal thoughts. Its great stuff! We’ll have to stay plugged to see what develops from this.

    Some people have ASD and ADHD, some people have ASD and OCR, some people have ASD and BAD, and many other combinations.

    So - with ASD and BAD antidepressants are a no. With ASD and ADHD - I dunno, maybe. Except it may sometimes be easy to mix up ASD+BAD and ASD+ADHD. With ASD and other stuff - yes, they sometimes prescribe ketamine.

    We know Elon has ASD.

    BTW, to say something in Elon’s defense, about claims of “people knowing him in the 90s saying he was writing bullshit code when he supposedly could program”, or any other claims, with ASD all this should be taken very critically, because people with ASD usually have an exclusive choice between being competent and appearing competent in any particular situation.

    Since “appearing competent” relies on another person’s idea what a competent person will consider a most obvious choice, or what will be their first thought, or how quick will be their response, or which weights they’ll assign to possible solutions, or how confident they will be, and all these are very different with ASD. When you have ASD, colleagues either consider you a genius or an idiot, and usually both are based on logically wrong conclusions. With ADHD or BAD this is even worse.

    So - yeah, let’s not press Elon too much.

    Though I should say doing a Nazi salute on live TV wasn’t the best of his ideas.

      It seems like he literally enabled a fascist government and hurt tons of citizens with irresponsible firings. He can and still perhaps should be hated for that.

        There are more people in the world enabling fascist governments than those who are not.

        Those systems he hurt are supposed to be able to survive this. If it’s not an improvement, then it’s a test.

            The difference is that government agencies require regular shakeups. It’s normal. It’s not normal for them to just keep existing without those.

          I don’t think you’d say the same about me taking a sledgehammer to your head. That’s what Elon did to a lot of agencies.

          Oh, and he’s not enabling a fascist government. He is the fascist government.

                Except killing an agency you might not kill a single person, while killing a person you kill a person.

                  Or you might kill hundreds or thousands, because the agency was crucial for ensuring safety standards. But Elon would never kill such an agency right?

                  Anyways, you’re not getting the point. If I remove the most vital parts of an agency, it’s not an agency anymore. You can’t just go “uhhh, maybe it’s a bad agency if it doesn’t survive massive cuts”, just like you would not blame a human for not surviving severe damage.

                    OK. It’s not what I meant, rather that all state institutions should be “nomad formations”, so to say - possible to kill and build again in a couple of weeks without touching the rest. But that’s probably off topic and I’m just too nervous a few last days.

              Okay, by bypassing regulations and illegally shutting down agencies instantly instead of sunsetting them to give time for nonprofits to fill the gap, Musk caused the death of tens of thousands of people who relied on food aid and lifesaving HIV meds. His degree of badness is worse than most people in the world.

      Oh yeah I remember that part of the Nuremberg where they just acquitted all the crimes against humanity for the people with ASD.

      He’s a nazi, fuck off.

        At the Nuremberg trials actual crimes were addressed, as in killing people in various ways, torturing, humiliating and robbing them before that.

        If you can call someone who hasn’t done that a Nazi, equating them to those who sat at the Nuremberg trials, then you are an irresponsible person.

        Also how can a person with any kind of dignity do that is beyond me. Not being liked by you is not a crime at all, let alone one comparable to Nazi ones.

        Cut the crap, applicability of language has nothing to do with whether you like Elon. Having a condition is not some privilege given only to worthy, while the rest are considered just jerks.

        I’m so fucking tired of locals treating it as such - if they don’t like a person, then they against common sense exclude that person of any group or trait that can be called oppressed or disadvantages.

          You cut the crap. We don’t know what he has, because there’s no reason to take him at his word about anything; he’s a proven liar. Moreover, sensitivity about mental health issues is part of the social contract - a contract which any billionaire is almost by definition in breach of.

            Typical for ASD too, you learn to lie to people who won’t accept the truth, to save your energy.

            Also his behavior is pretty normal for an ASD person, in public appearances and sore spots of personality too, I don’t think there’s any reason to doubt that part.

            Not just them.

                No, I think some behavior is not shitty, just some people are trying to push their opinion it is upon others. Go fuck yourself, have a nice day
