"...he has gone about being a terrible person in a very autistic way."

And that's a good point about binary thinking.

I just wanted to make the point that there's nothing about being autistic that predisposes a person to being selfish or evil.

However, if a selfish, evil person happens to be autistic, they're going to go about being evil in some predictable ways.

Contrast Musk to RFK, Jr., who is also evil but probably not autistic. Look at how Bob goes about being evil - his expression is emotional. He believes random things that "feel" good to him. He lacks intellectual curiosity. Instead, he believes dumb things he's told just because they feel right to him. He doesn't bother to learn more. Just runs with it.
