Considering he asked twitter programmers to print out their pull requests Im not even sure he's not cosplaying a programmer

Thanks for pointing this out. I'd never heard of this site before. From their front page: https://fedia.io/media/dd/05/dd05739fe84d5754670a5985712d74afa8a49f6dae81a8afa01e460ff04ccf11.png

That should tell you a lot about whether or not to invest any energy into reading stories from there.

Why go so far as the first letter? Look at the typo in the subheading "Tony Spark"

Yeah but Musk in the MCU got Thanos-snapped and the Avengers wisely left him out when they snapped everyone back

Now now, Elon does technically have one patent to his name personally.

Its the shape of the charging port for Teslas.

He patented this with the idea that if he ever did actually build out that massive EV charger network, he would basically be owed royalties if it successfully became the USB C of EV charging ports, so himself personally would be owned royalties if other car companies wanted to use that charging port shape.

But that was like a decade ago, and last I heard he fired the entire team at Tesla dedicated to the charging network.

Yeah.

Elon bought the title of founder of Tesla. He's not a fucking inventor, he's a leech.

Probably why Tony Stark's father is named Howard, too.

Yoi jist don't inderstand modern artucles?

Well he's not Tony Stark...

are you ready to admit that fictional characters exist in fiction because it gives an escape to readers to fantasize about themselves as the hero?

get over yourself bringing all that hatemongering in here.

you think you offer a special perspective that none of us have that pertains to the widening of socioeconomic gaps between the rich and poor? yeah we get it, "rich man bad!"

calling comic book characters propaganda, what's wrong with you?! you think the writers of these characters have some kind of secret cabal where they purposely write great things about rich people just to make actual rich people look good?!

your perspective is skewed and you need to re-evaluate it.

Can you imagine how much good he could have done, had Bruce Wayne donated all that money to school programs, while he became a politician who helped by providing services to the city.

I remember reading Kingdom come, and Batman is a fascist by then. Old and crippled and wearing an iron man style suit. But the actual Gotham city is now monitored by bat robots who watch everyone and keep them in line.

I don’t know how it came about

iirc the facility that we see housing the evil iron man ripoff suits was a SpaceX facility irl

And he's incapable of creating anything. And he has zero charisma.

I vote John von Neumann for tech savant.

Autistic people are generally the opposite from sociopaths, relative to norm.

However, we do, existing with ratio of like 1 in 200 people, get the experience with non-autistic people that makes us think of them similarly to how non-autistic people think of sociopaths.

As an autistic person, there are many cases about which I'd say that if I had the opportunity to press the red button sending nukes, I would press it, but in fact I most likely wouldn't, because autistic people are generally less compromising on justice and honesty. The decision to, say, sacrifice one good person to punish 1000 bad people is much harder for us than for "normal" people.

"Normal" people usually consider this trait a weakness, but then have the gall to accuse us of lacking empathy.

Also autistic emotions are stronger too - we just learn to control them, because otherwise it's be impossible to function. When you read something about homeless people, you just add that to your inner narrative of how your group is good and the other group is bad, you generally don't think about the matter itself. When we read something about homeless people, we feel ourselves on their place and temporarily lose the ability to eat, sleep and enjoy life.

However, getting back to your point - in things requiring one to be a better person autistic people are almost always better. It's a fact of the "you'd never have thought" genre exchanged in autistic communities that there are, in fact, bad autistic people. That's how rare it is.

I hope I have educated you.
