yes elon musk is autistic
he's also a murderous, imperialist, eugenicist, white supremacist bastard
there's a lot of other white autistic people who are white supremacists, for various reasons. A lot of the gaming far-right pipeline catches them.

it's not an excuse.
it also doesn't mean that autistic people need to be exterminated or trained to not be monsters.
it means people need to stop being ableist bastards and perpetuating white supremacist mythology and critically examine the ways some subjects are taught.

and gaming can help with fighting this by actually showing the human cost of war and especially examining the 4X genre, to avoid perpetuating that mythology, by hiring and paying people with lived experience to course correct if they think things can be salvaged.

to other white autistic people who read this: find an accessible way to learn about the true history of imperialism that works for you to absorb and retain it. learn about the doctrine of discovery. i rec this as a starter: https://upstanderproject.org/firstlight/doctrine

the book Dark Emu by bruce pascoe, which has a very well done shorter version called Young Dark Emu that was very effective in condensing a lot of history into digestable chunks.

being autistic is not, never has been, and never will be an excuse to be racist and imperialist, fuck off with the nazi shit.

he KNOWS it's nazi shit. If you don't know, you have to learn.
