If he actually is, it’s not to a heavy degree. It’s a spectrum though, so maybe he’s got a touch of it. Maybe he’s just too preoccupied with running all these companies to really relax and be “there” in the moment, or to care. Who knows

Actually, in most cases, you wouldnt even be able to tell if an adult is austistic or not due to their adaptation. Adult autists have had years of learning to adapt. Learning what is socially acceptable and what isnt. Most people who know me, cant tell I have autism while I score absurdly high on the Asperger list. Higher than most. Also, a lot of Autists have a high functioning kind, which basically overshadows our shortcomings. Even the ones that seem low IQ, are actually very smart EQ wise.

Nah. I think he's just a nerd who's rich enough to be as eccentric as he wants to be. He has a really dry sense of humor.

Autists are capable of dry humor. Mostly because we are able to remain dead serious which makes you wonder if we're being real or not. Which is the basis for dry humor 😉

Both are fucking aliens among humans. If only they could truly battle to the death. Actually the idea of Musk and zuck inspired me to write a book. It would be about humanity in the future. One would leave earth and colonize on other planets/ moons. Their technology would consist of the highest space tek possible. This would be the side that followed the ideas of Musk. The other half of humanity stayed on earth using robots and AI to their advantage to become more intelligent and resilient. They followed the ideas of Zuck. This side of humanity went towards cybernetics, and robots. In a sense these humans would eventually became a mixture of humans, and robots. Book 1 would be about them separating and how they advanced in their own ways. Book 2 would be about them having a huge war to prove which human is the superior. Basically robots vs aliens, but both came from the same planet.
