Elon Musk sucks shit and as an autistic person we don’t claim him

I’ve listened to his monologue on SNL and it’s basically him being Sheldon Cooper, bragging about his money and what he’s able to do, enabled by his mom, the show and the audience. 

What sucks the most is that I’ve seen people writing that it made them change their opinion about him. Or that some comments about him, after his speech, showed that prejudice against autism is real (which, fair enough, true, but don’t apply it to a literal piece of shit like him). 

He really used his diagnosis to win some brownie points and that rubs me the wrong way.  I’d rather have Anthony Hopkins or Hannah Gadsby as autistic celebrities to look up to. Elon Musk is trash and his diagnosis doesn’t change that.

Not to mention he used the term “Aspergers” which is very outdated, problematic, and sets a barrier between those who are deemed “low-functioning” and “high-functioning.”.

Exactly!!

He wanted to use brain chips to “cure” autistic nonspeakers. The dude’s totally an aspie supremacist and a lot of shitty white dudebros who also happen to be autistic are gonna feel emboldened to use their diagnoses to be arrogant assholes without boundaries or sex pests, thereby giving the rest of us a bad name.
