Three former SpaceX supervisors told Reuters that Musk would have machinery painted in industrial safety yellow repainted to black or blue because of he didn’t like how it looked. The ex-supervisors also said that some workers were told not to wear yellow safety vests when Musk was on site.
It says they couldn’t wear yellow safety vests, but I’m guessing, at least at first, that they didn’t have two colors of safety vest available for all employees.
And repainting machines unsafe colors because you don’t like yellow?
Just criminal assholeishness. If he wasn’t so rich, he would be charged with reckless endangerment.
Is he pretending to be like some super charismatic genius autistic master mind by pretending to be disturbed by bright colours and loud noises. Sounds like him
I don’t even know if I believe the autism claim. I don’t think he’s ever been formally diagnosed. I think he is self-diagnosed with “Asperger’s syndrome,” which is no longer a diagnosis.
In fairness to those with Autism, “self diagnosis” is much more common in that community and accepted because the official test for it can be absurdly long and expensive.
That being said, neither one of those things should be a problem for big brain Elon.
Yes, that is definitely true for many autistic people, but I think in Elon’s case he hides his weird and unacceptable behavior behind a self-diagnosis of autism. He might be autistic, but it’s not the excuse he thinks it is.
Being autistic doesn’t mean being an ass hole. Maybe musk is ass-tistic.
Agree 100%.
The Aspergers vs ASD statement is as pointless as someone saying they’re manic-depressive instead of bipolar. Sure, that’s a problem if your doctor gets it wrong, but not if someone who has the condition doesn’t bother to keep up.
There are plenty of real issues to criticise Musk for, but that particular item is a non-issue.
The key word was pretending.
