Elon Musk doesn’t have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It’s only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don’t hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn’t an insult.
Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.

They should join Mastodon to get away from Elon’s narcissism.
On the flip side, hopefully this news story pushes more people away from X
I can’t imagine anyone being pushed by anything if they weren’t pushed away until now

You’re allowed to say narcissist lol
narcissism and NPD are not the same thing
Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn’t asexual.
Weird statement
