It’s real, they did an article about him. This was supposed to be a soft piece to make him more human. ha ha.

    Nah this isn’t autism. Autism has issues understanding human social rules.

    He understands just fine given his manipulations, he just doesn’t care and actively works to smash them. That’s sociopathy

      No, I’m almost certain it is Autism. You don’t need to like Facebook or Zuck as a person. (Please don’t) But it is inappropriate to poke at his real struggles. I think he is the classic example of money can’t buy happiness. (Or empathy)

        a lack of empathy is literally the defining trait of sociopathy.

        autistic people DO have empathy for fucks sake. they (we) just have trouble with unclear social cues, but understand and have emotions just fine.

        zuck, musk, and the rest are sociopaths; not autistic. (they probably could be both, but the autism is definitely not the issue here…)

        zuck, musk, and so on use autism as an excuse and shield against criticism, because, in their minds, it absolves them having to change their behavior. “that’s just how they are” - fuck no, that’s not how autistic people act or behave at all!

        it’s INSANELY damaging to actual autistic people to go around saying people clearly displaying traits of sociopaths are autistic.

        FUCK OFF with that shit.

          They are clearly spergs AND billionaires. It looks like such a combination is especially not photogenic

          What is funny here, in this post, is their autistic traits and media clumsiness that is so characteristic for rich neurodivergents (as non rich people generally are not in any media obviously)

          Hence the post focuses on the spectrum traits and it will be discussed from such angle naturally if we see them

          If they were some poor autistic sob from Andalusia then we just would have to rein in our remarks but for billionaires it’s a free game to harass them for any reason. That’s what we agreed upon

          Therefore we harass them for autistic displays in media as it is very easy but we must pretend that this is not autism to stay coherent in our moral righteousness and not evoke cognitive dissonance

            I have no idea what I just read.

            Are you saying that we harass billionaires? I’m not sure I like the word harass as that seems almost like stalking. Instead we can make fun of them when they make dumb choices and hold them accountable for there actions.
