Thanks for that. Sorry for being so aggressive there. I had just come from a discussion on another site where someone tried to insult Musk by calling him autistic because of the way he walks, and I carried some of that anger over here.
Hey, no worries. It happens to the best of us, and it’s really big of you to admit that and recognize it in yourself.
I wasn’t saying he is autistic as an insult (I’m also a bit neurodivergent), more recognizing his disabilities and acknowledging that his masking may result in some socially unacceptable characteristics. It is also really easy to be misunderstood and then find yourself in a socially difficult quagmire. It happens to me all the time and I don’t have a billion eyeballs watching my every move. I summarize this by calling it “dumb”, which again, I don’t mean as insulting.
I do think when you create something as valuable as something like Tesla, you should be held to a higher standard and not jeopardize the mission as a public figure being controversial. If you can’t contain that, then you hire people to lead the company who can.
Anyway, I appreciate you. Thanks for the civility. We are all on this planet growing together, I much prefer being friendly, patient, and understanding.
