Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

also why does he think people will take on his "wacky" pronunciation of "Robovan" to rhyme with "gas oven"? I generally leave actually listening to Musk's live ramblings to the professionals but damn, this guy is a terrible public speaker. Has his schtick always consisted mostly of awkward pauses and ers and ums or is this a new thing?
Yes that always was his thing. Some people rationalize it to themselves by going 'he is such a genius his head has so many ideas he struggles to express them'. I think he might have adhd.
Oh no, I don't think we're ready for him to start mythologizing autism + ADHD.
Watching my therapist pull up Musk facts on his phone for 40 minutes going "bro check this out you're just like him frfr" the moment he learned I was autistic was enough for me. Please god don't let musk start talking about hyperfocusing.
He claims he has autism, but because his first wife left him after she got her adhd meds he hates adhd meds. So dont worry about him turning into an adhd high functioning example.
