  1. Word. All autistic people have trouble anticipating crowd reactions. Elon is typical atypical. People need to just stop freaking out when he does or days something weird. He's always bend weird and always will be. That's why he is and does this all - he's a real and flawed person, but most weird and flawed persons aren't so productive at all scales. Respect him, but criticize him, and never worship him. We all benefit from atypical people, discouraging them by hatred over oddities is economically stupid at micro and macro levels. We'd all be worse off if he didn't waste his money on whims and literal moonshots. It should be ok to say, "I disagree with the thing he said but still grateful he gambles more on progress for nations and species than I'll ever see on paper, never mind earn for myself, never mind risk for little upside." People need perspective when they formulate their criticisms imho. Socially retarded people like me produce a lot of good for the same reasons we offend people. We're not bad people, just tone deaf most of the time.
