    Elon Musk doesn’t have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It’s only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don’t hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn’t an insult.

    Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.

          Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn’t asexual.

          Why do people always say weird shit like this when they’re defending Republicans?

            I’m not defending Elon. I think he’s a hetero neurotypical privileged asshole. It’s you people who want to make up a narrative that he’s a vulnerable minority.

              No you’re the one, in multiple threads now, trying to equate narcissism with NPD so you can use victim philosophy to protect narcissism as such, under the rubric that people with personality disorders are minorities like black people.

              The density of lies your mind produces is off the charts. Meditate more jesus christ

      Calling him a narcissist isn’t really an insult either way. It’s just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.
