No, but coupled with the other people he's teaming up with, and the other things he's done, it's a pretty sure bet he's a nazi and meant it as such. Autism is not an excuse, and nazi salutes are not even in the same ballpark as dancing fucking robots! How do you even manage to equate the two???

Autism is not an excuse

I never said it was.

Autism makes it more difficult to read social norms, and if you mix that with childishness and enough money to not care what others think (and maybe some drugs as well), you get Elon.

I explicitly said it doesn't make it okay, I said it doesn't imply anything about his personal political views.

How do you even manage to equate the two???

They're both childish. There's really not more to it.
