Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, accused her father of giving a “definitely Nazi salute” at two rallies in January, calling his actions “fucking cringe.”

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trump’s administration.

Elon Musk literally helped re-legalize segregation in Federal Contracts, if he had the power he'd ban MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech and gate off Harlem from the rest of New York.

It definitely was. He's apartheid nepo baby. Autistic or not, he's racist and a terrible asshole. Also a nazi.

If he's autistic, that can be dangerous when mixed with narcissism. There's research showing a link between it and mass shootings (practical example here. Possibly due to some autistic people thinking in polarised extremes, having poor social skills and lacking empathy.

At least provide some scientific data to back up any claim like this. Posting this is an extremely harmful claim to make regardless, but to do so with a “practical example” is not only incredibly offensive it has the potential to be profoundly harmful. Please consider providing real data for your claims or editing your post entirely.

That's an exceptionally dangerous claim to make; it's going to cause people to further alienate people that are on the autism spectrum. When you look at the report that the US Secret Service released on mass shootings (I'd have to find it; I've got a copy saved somewhere), autism spectrum disorder is not listed as a factor, while things like divorced parents is.

Perhaps you missed the part that said, "[Forensic psychiatrist Dr Iain Kooyman] found Prosper had an 'extreme lack' of empathy and remorse - something that could not be explained by ASD alone."

And, BTW, people on the autism spectrum lack effective empathy, not empathy. That means that a person on the spectrum has a reduced ability to understand what a person is experiencing or feeling, not that they don't feel empathy when they do know.
