    this is so fucking ableist. he’s autistic. he can’t help it if he breaks the law and just so happens to greatly profit off it. imagine you were born with self-diagnosed aspergers to an extremely wealthy family in apartheid south africa and tell me you wouldn’t do exactly what he did. especially considering he simply doesn’t know better due to his autism

      They couldn’t just refer to it as the Elon Musk act because it was aimed specifically at him. No, gotta come up with a dumbass fucking acronym. The world superpower, ladies and gentlemen.

    Naming in such a ridiculous and combative way makes it easier to vote against and dismiss it.
