He managed to become a billionaire even though he's autistic so I think it's fair to criticize him on the same level as we do others.
If you don't do that, perfect.
Having autism would not be an excuse, by the way. It's just orthogonal and isn't something people are assumed to have say in, like their skin color. Attacking that (calling emotionless Borg and so on) actually hurts any point about specific problems with his actions.
I misinterpreted your "Don't bother, nobody has any sympathy for autism here" comment as a way of saying "People are so hard on him, even though he has autism", so my bad.
The existence of fanboy armies is entirely orthogonal to any discussion we’re having here. Their existence should have no bearing on how Elon is judged by a neutral observer.
He was bullied as a child, and your comment is probably true about many autistic people.
I'd say Elon is using free speech for populist reasons and will not deliver a Twitter with true free speech (he is too insecure and besides almost nobody would ever use a platform like that), but no need for personal attacks (it just points at your own insecurities).
