I feel like you are missing the forest for the trees here. You keep fixating on this like some kind of "gatcha" using the exact same phrasing as his defenders who claimed he did the Nazi salute because he's autistic.

I personally do not give a flying fuck on what "mental disorders" he has. Also, autism is a developmental disability, not a mental disorder. There is a difference.

As far as "politicizing narcissism", how is pointing out he has traits associated with politicizing it? Like, he's a fucking fascist who is using the absurd level of wealth he's accumulated to basically buy the government and get unelected power he is using to dismantle any agency that benefits the masses or has investigated him for business violations.

That's on top of the social issues where he and Trump are trying to make it harder for minority groups to exist in the world.

It's been well researched that conservatives tend to have many more narcissistic traits because the entire political ideology hinges on hierarchy and a "fuck you, I got mine" mentality. It's also been well researched that CEOs are all more likely to have psychopathic traits.

It's not "politicizing" pointing out traits someone has to explain what they are doing in politics or harm they are causing in general. If someone is a self-centered asshole who act like they are better than everyone else and uses that as the basis for denying other people rights then I don't really care what the reason behind their self-centered nature is. An asshole is still an asshole. There is no justification or excuse for what they do.

You are basically saying "you're the bigot" when I point out that a fascist is a fascist. You ignore the substance of what I and others are saying to just attack us and hand wave any issues we have with Musk.

Again, if you feel it's more important to tone police us because we aren't using language you like when we talk about a literal fascist that is causing uncountable harm and death, who is supporting and pushing for multiple genocides, who sees his children as property and is using a toddler as a human shield, then I don't think we are going to find common ground here.

Musk's actions are indefensible. The only people I've seen argue against criticism of him are his sycophants. You are doing "so much for the tolerant left" bullshit. My only question is if you are actually one of his cult members or just misguided.

But in the end it doesn't matter. If you defend a fascist you are a fascist....

But I'm not politicizing mental disorders. I'm calling an asshole an asshole.

Anyone who then comes out with the BS "but he's autistic" is trying to politicize autism while also excusing his actions that are literally costing lives.

So spare me your moral outrage while my existance as both a neurodivergent person and a trans person is under attack by the peice of shit you are treating with kid gloves if not trying to defend

The culture war has always been a manufactured distraction creates by conservatives to make people blame the powerless instead of the wealthy for their problems.

As a trans person I am fully aware of the culture war because it effects me directly. I was aware of it long before I considered I might be trans.

But the culture war is still a distraction. They want to blame the economy and stuff on everything but "corporate greed".

But as much if a distraction as it is it sti does harm. It still kills people.

What politicizing? That he is a narsassistic asshole? He's also a psychopath, like all billionaires.

I don't really know what you are even saying. Being autistic does not make you do nazi salutes then joke about it with puns when called out on it.

I'm ADHD and probably autistic. I wouldn't consider any theoretical children I could have as property nor dismantle programs people rely on to survive.

Being autistic and a greedy asshole is not mutually exclusive. There's a big difference in not understanding social queues or whatever and having a breeding fetish or whatever he has when it comes to kids.

On top of all the other horrible things. Like Trump he desperately wants praise and such. Its why he lashed out and called that one guy a "pedo" because he felt upstages when he couldn't be the one to take credit for saving the kids, not that he cared about the kids.

I'm sorry, but seriously fuck him with the rusty chainsaw he used as a stand in for all the insecurity he has.

We are well past "you could do better" and more "needs to be tried for literally working to dismantling the government and ruining countless lives"

He's a narsassistic asshole who apparently did IVF for all his kids because he wanted all boys.

That one of the kids ended up being a girl because she's trans despite his effort at avoiding it seems to drive him crazy, especially as someone who thinks he owns his children.

he's an asshole like all conservatives.

They are mostly all careerists who focus on who's "turn" it is while they are one foot in the grave. Its a major issue on why we have the current situation.

The fact that hold onto power they are either unwilling or too scared to use is infuriating.

Living in an area with very hard water, yes.

Which, funny enough, is exactly what Nazis want.

Lets be honest, most of the people who get stiff when looking at guns support this. They were always going to bend over for authoritarians because if authoritarians took over the government they were going to be right wing.

Republicans did the same, both "legally dubious" and blatantly illegal.
