They may be assholes but gosh aren't they productive.

It reminds me of dwarves from Norse mythology. Short guys in their little workrooms underground banging away at projects. Grumpy. Making miraculous stuff. The shoe fits.

Very poetic way of putting it and I agree these are people we certainly need! Wouldn’t be writing this message if it weren’t for autism. But to some extent they are beasts of burden.

Musk talks about his brain as if it’s possessed by demons sending him a million thoughts a minute. Not fun.

What? I'm sorry but I find that to be dehumanizing towards people on the spectrum. They are human beings like us.

Ya, beasts of burden sounds right. Geese laying golden eggs too. Destined for the egg factory.
