* ANNOUNCEMENT * Elon Musk is autistic. watch this video - I've never heard of him

Errrr - could you not tell?

Haha I thought it was obvious but it's cool for him to actually admit it I think people like him don't always want to admit it to public because it might affect their public persona

He's in a position where there's nothing that can hurt him - or his stock prices.

Oh I can imagine that, board meetings just to talk about a 10 min speech or interview about what he can and can't say.

Billionaires have teams of people 'managing' their image and advising on media strategy - when you are head of a massive industry, everything you say or do can affect share prices - so there is no such thing as a 'mistake'.

To be honest if that's true I think Elon would've probably thought about that but it still is a positive thing he kills two birds with one stone.

Why is it *good* news?     It's just news.

wow that is a very negative spin on good news 

Oh really, I didn't know that I don't know anything to do with the stock market.

Rich people also deliberately damage their share price to create a dip so they can buy their own stock at reduced prices - so when it bounces up again, they've made a killing.

Yeah if it comes from him first he has more control how the story circulates I guess and people can't talk down about it.

He might have been forced to 'come out' to avoid a damaging hit-piece from the media.
