I doubt it's the last time Musk does that gesture.

If Aspergers is now the default excuse, then can we also expect Barron Trump to zieg heil as well?

I wish Musk would, at the bare minimum, go the way of Kanye and Roseanne. It’s nice when the only time you hear of them is when people ponder when the last time they heard from them was.

Is it? I'm in that group, and as shocking and moronic as I found the gesture, his absence of executive function in a hyper-stimulating moment was very familiar. It looked like an AuDHD outburst to me, and I am 100% willing to put that lack of self-control on his neurotype. The beliefs? Not even a little.

Honestly looked like he saw an all-time trolling opportunity, and found it too tempting to resist. It looked like he thought it was hilarious, and has ZERO concern about the social consequences.

EDIT: The other very familiar thing about it, is how strongly normies are reacting. Things like this are harsh reminders of why most people don't want people on the spectrum anywhere near "important" things. Harsh because it is hard to disagree and accept this about oneself.

Handy chart I found to work out what your arm position is saying to the world. Yes, that's Obergruppenführer Space Karen on the left.

He did it on purpose; then he realized "oh shoot, I should probably downplay that", so he went back to the mic to say the my heart goes out line.
It was pretty damn obvious he knew what he had just done.

Well someone also noted that in his speech he alludes to the 14 words (...the future of civilization is assured)
So, yeah, guess what? Hes a nazi.

Please excuse my ignorance: has it just been subsumed into the broader autism spectrum now (if that makes sense)?

Yup, exactly. It falls under the umbrella diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
