Not to defend billionaires but Lemmy is so weird, they’re always like “protect people on the spectrum! Accept neuro divergence!” But at the same time they’ll be like “that guy acts weird, what a loser!” I see it a lot around here, some celebrities who are autistic are fair game, some aren’t 🤷♂️
Jerry Seinfeld pops in my head. He’s autistic, when he was younger he liked women younger than him. Super common with autistic people who feel mentally younger so they like people who are more on their level, but he gets called a creep etc, despite not breaking any law.
Normal dudes like Johnny Depp are 60 and still chasing girls right out of high school and nobody cares
People to whom justice isn’t more than an aesthetic. I’ve seen people also turn being gay, or feminine, or poor, or overweight into an insult to hurl at people after making a point of being an ally
Billionaires are oppressors and exploiters, killers of the planet and the people alike, not sure why those can’t be the insults we use and we have to resort to thing that reinforce these social hierarchies
To clarify i think Elon musk’s autism is irrelevant to why I despise him, same as the autism of Jeffrey Dahmer has no bearing on why I hate him too.
Once you cross a line you can’t defend it even with autism.
fElon said he has it. Never been diagnosed by a medical authority that I have seen and I have also seen a few articles saying that he never got tested.
