5. I would add that a person's beliefs and values determine how their personality is expressed.

I've had the privilege to work with many brilliant scientists who I think are on the spectrum. They are motivated by a desire to cure diseases and make the world a better place. In their cases, being autistic makes it possible for them to discover connections that others don't see. They are relentless and tireless in their work.

Musk is a deeply racist and misogynistic person. His parents were white supremacists who moved to South Africa because they admired apartheid. I think that motivates Musk. He believes that white people are superior and others are inferior, and he is on a quest to remake the U.S. to be like Nazi Germany.

Musk is joined in this mission by a number of other billionaires from South Africa, and by JD Vance. They are stone cold racists and that's important to remember.
