Being on the spectrum is not technically mentally ill.

autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is not a mental illness, but it is a developmental disability. However, people with autism can experience mental health conditions.

What our society stigmatizes, with the pseudo medical slur "autism", is the natural state of the male European mind.

No way no how!

Hardly anyone acted like a lot of these kids in the 70's and 80's.

Oh totally! But many people don't make that distinction between disorder and illness. People will argue about definitions until the cows come home.

He will get this job done and done well as he has no political aspirations. He is motivated totally by results against his goals.

Goals? Internet, Pay Pal, electrification without fossil fuels, Mars, free speech on social media, humanoid robots and AI that cannot be turned against humans.

I am on his side.

He does not like the lack of AI control that Altman is running in Open AI, so he will eventually take it back. He did fund it in the first place.

He obviously does have political aspirations. See DOGE.

You do not get it, NOVA, doge is not political, that is what pisses the Dems off so much about it. It is auditing a very corrupt government.

DOGE is most certainly a political exercise. It is within the political realm so it is political. Elon is going to be a part of politics from now on.

We come back around full circle to just how awful DEMOCRATS ARE!

Elon, Tulsi and RFK JR. WERE loved by the repulsive liberal left and DNC.

Once they turned traitor like the Donald who was a Democrat for fifty years suddenly they are evil and must be destroyed at all cost!

That right there puts on stark display the very huge difference between Trump and Democrats and even Trump and the Republicans he is willing to work with anyone that can stay on task and is willing to work towards a better America.

which makes it even more hilarious that one of the mantras of the Harris campaign was "Country Over Party"
