Elon Musk purchased Twitter.
Many people leave not liking the control he has over it.
But who is he?

Everyone thinks "eccentric tech billionaire".
That's not who he is, that's a what.
Who is he? He's a guy who loves puzzles. Because they have logical process and a reward for discovering that process. If he can't solve a puzzle it's painful for him.
But why?
Because he has autism.
He has challenges discerning others emotions. He understands logic and technology very well, and that's beneficial because of the profitability of technology.
But he has difficultly with relationships personally, and socially. So naturally understanding these things are a puzzle he wants to understand. If you couldn't understand them, what better tool would exist than a system based on technology that tracks social involvement on a global scale. A social network. So it actually makes sense a guy with autism buys a social network and makes mistakes with it.

Would I hire someone who publicly denounces an autistic guy for buying a social network and learning from it. Nope, I don't care if you're black, white, a Muslim, a PhD, a nobel laureate, an IQ of 180, or gay, it's nothing personal, and maybe you're overqualified, I don't care, I'd still hire you and overpay you, and promote you. But, if you make observations based on limited data, and let social validation emotions override your discernment enough to make that public knowledge, I don't think you'd hire you either if you really think about it. I'm a fan of irony, and a server full of fans, pro rights, intellectuals, who are bullying an autistic kid. It makes me sad.

Plot twist, making me sad is a great thing because it's something very very difficult for me to do. I have difficulties feeling emotions of any kind. I know the difference between right and wrong though, so that's something 🤷
