Because it is not about him, it is about what he symbolizes.

He first became an autism politics issue when in 2019 he claimed his neurolink project could solve autism. That is defiantly an on topic issue. Thing is as far as I know he has not said anything else about that since.

2021 was his Aspergers reveal on SNL and a followup interview. He said this is why he is quirky and was bullied as a child. By then he was already controversial. What followed was the usual is he really autistic and are people who say they have Aspergers elitists or worse.

Obviously since then Musk has become massively more controversial for obvious reasons. Bitter feelings are now centered on what was meant by that salute.

What I am about to describe is more of an issue on other social media.

On one side the it gave apparent validity to the if you use Aspie you are Nazi people. That is not about him, the man has never said his DOGE actions are a result of his Aspergers.

On the other side you the people who say it was not a Nazi salute. It was an I :heart: you salute that was awkward because of his Aspergers. That is offensive because it uses us among other things, but it is not about us, it is about owning the libs.

DOGE actions that affect us are on topic for this section. RFK Jr. and the power Trump gave him are our main problem.

And my guess is that if you've met one billionaire than you've likely met someone who always thinks they're right...because they're probably not often told they're wrong.

Not sure why people are so against DOGE?

He basically revealed that 95% of USAID was never aid in the traditional sense i.e food & medicine, rather US spy agency led efforts to destabilise other countries through Soros style NGO`s that were not there for the good of humanity rather to create favourable geo political outcomes to the US, at the usual cost of human lives through riots, civil wars, refugees etc..

That on its own would have been bad enough, but it evolved further to just be a money laundering operation for a minority of people to fraudulently receive vast amounts of tax payers money to probably do nothing at all.

The BBC got a % of its budget from USAID, what did it do for that?, why is the US taxpayer paying the UK state broadcaster? what do they have to do in return?

To make matters worse they may have even used these forces in the US itself against US citizens, paying all sorts of influencers, news outlets etc.. unnecessarily creating culture wars and feeding violence in the US itself, the BLM riots are the first thing that comes to mind, people died in that.

People may not like Musk and maybe 5% of USAID was genuine aid but not sure why people are so against this, unless they were directly profiting from it of course.

How dare people be skeptical of the unsubstantiated claims made by DOGE, the only reason they could be skeptical is because they're directly profiting from it, or something. :roll:

The last two posts are legitimate topics for PPR.

Any DOGE cuts that affect Autistics are legitimate topics for this section.

I was criticizing using his neurology for other agendas.
