he has Asperger’s syndrome shortly after he took the stage for his guest host appearance on the legendary sketch show.... [+]During his opening monologue, the eccentric and controversial leader of Tesla and SpaceX referred to himself as “the first person with Asperger’s to host SNL,” the first time he’s appeared to link himself to the condition.

Musk used the rest of his monologue to poke fun at his reputation for grandiosity, his penchant for Twitter trolling, and his fascination with dogecoin, a “joke” cryptocurrency that’s soared in value after he started championing it.

Yeah, like we couldn’t figure THAT out years ago! It’s another reason to love him even more, when he answers joke questions literally. Was it ever in doubt?

How is that a revelation?

Oh my, the shock 😴

So awesome. Been suspecting it the whole time and now we got a confirmation.

I like hamburgers.

It explains a lot tbh

Always suspected he had some ailment of this kind coz of his single track thinking and never give up attitude.

So what for?! Do i like it?! Musk used words more carefully.. you see that?! CionWorld dignity is too low Class is too low beacuse of he said Doge Doge Doge’s father.. it’s too funny..

Genital warts would have been way more fun..

Lmao the amount of hate y’all show for someone trying to express themselves is astounding do y’all hate all people with disabilities? Or just the millionaires?

why does it matter? billions of people have no condition but also no drive, passion, or dreams! Nothing can stop elonmusk's vision!

I, too, hate tall poppies.

Predicted it about 2 years ago - obvious IMO

My son has Aspergers too, but at least he's not an asshole! 🙄🙄🙄

We all knew he’s a very odd person. But that’s no excuse for his political stupidity.

To avoid backlash from the doge implosion I am 100% sure. His publicist is genius

Duh!

I wondered why he was like he was

Elon is a fake hero. Fake idol. He wants to take all the fame and all the money from what his team creates, not him. He is not the leader, he is the parasite who promotes the values of capitalism: slavery, class separation, rental nature of economics.

In other news, Ted Bundy was a tinker

Not a shocker at all. I would think people that deal with him in person already knew this. ..but it’s good he can talk about it.

who cares if he is an asperge... I am disappointed SNL now put bore on their show. Why cant they get guys like Ferrell, Baldwin even De Niro was funnier.

As someone with Autism I already suspected he had something like it when I saw his SpaceX livestream.

Elon was not the first; he simply has the biggest ego and his Pete sketch is preparing the world for his claim that people will die during these space explorations. Unimpressed. Dan Ackroyd was the best and the 1st with Aspergers.

I could tell just by looking at him and his behavior

Not funny

The description of the disease shows that I have it too, but I didn't make such a fortune

Cool, welcome to the fam. I don't believe it's called Asperger's anymore for a reason tho.

SHIBA INU🚀🚀🚀🦊🦊🦊🌝🌝🌝

He’s an even greater inspiration elonmusk

Idk why but he seems like a villain in movies

Good for him. I have nothing else to say in regards to this. The people trying to tear him down specifically for this should be ashamed, whether on the spectrum or not.

Only that? I would say he has more.

We are a spectrum family ❤️🧩 elon elonmusk thanks for representing! Our family loves everything you are inspiring!

It’s actually funny as most people have no idea that out of 129,503,221,028 DOGE that 57,897757,473 DOGE is held between 11 people holding 44.7% of the market. A true O.G like yourself does though🤣 it’s going to be 1 awesome💥crash soon but it’s a DOGE🌏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💎🙌

Hmm. I get Alzheimer's Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

'reveals he is a prick' ftfy

elonmusk yeah I think dan_aykroyd was the first, actually.

And now ignorant people are going to be saying 'Well Elon Musk has it and he's rich and famous, you're just not trying! Stop playing the victim!'

I didn't know. He was ok except when he played a doctor. Kept his eyes closed. 😆

Like I said before this man’s ego is stratosphere, ‘look at me , me , me , me and erm me again’. No wonder he’s a billionaire!!

Please listen it

I thought it was common knowledge

Alright, someone get him a mic and something about the environment 😂

elonmusk to aqui binho, adota eu!

I don’t get the hate for Elon. Of course he’s flawed. We all are. But every single person throwing out their judgements seem to have this attitude that they would do better. I get it, but it’s immature. He’s not Donald Trump.

Now, the world will understand what AspergerSyndrome is. elonmusk brave Actually, i love you . Jojo

Autistic.

So if you didn’t like the jokes, you are an ableist bigot

So?

gchampeau My man Musk using some weird ass idpol to make ppl forget he's just your standard sociopathic billionaire overlord lmao

I knew it lol

No one cares

That's interesting & inspiring for those with Aspergers (ASD).Elon should write a book about his childhood & growing up with ASD. elonmusk On a side note,those with ASD are usually very law abiding & don't break rules.Why has he been avoiding subpoenas by Johnny Depp's lawyers?

Beautiful ❤

bynikkig I know! I'll tell the world about my mental syndrome before I do this comedy sketch show.

No big deal ))

I’m more of an InNOut fan myself.

1/8 Solar & Wind are 0 emissions? Each 1 MW of solar farm power requires between 35 to 45 tons of steel, + you need to dig for cadmium, gallium, germanium, etc Make silicon Silicon metal is made from the reaction of silica (SiO2) -

Wooow, I bet suddenly everybody will grow asparagus, only because Elon does.

You don't say

You inspired the writers and cast of SNL and also did a consistently fine job in front of the camera. Kudos for bringing your Mom on and it was great to see M. Boucher again! I truly hope that the SEC does not put you in jail for too long over the all DC promo:(

)) he designed and produced solar powered cars, developed Hyperloop and builds and sends spaships to outer space, has over 50 mln followers and IQ way beyond average and now he is trying to make you smile, you didn't expect him to be ordinary, did you

Oh? And I thought he was just an asshole.

straitarrow10 Ok explains some of the awkwardness but not the douchiness. Sorry bro that's not going to save you from accountability.🐈
