Neurodivergent Salute?

[Originally posted on LinkedIn on January 15, 2025]

Microsoft shadow-banned this post on its LinkedIn platform. I wonder if that is just a demonstration that Microsoft joins the ranks of Trump-worshiping sycophants, or maybe the way to get a post noticed is to start it off by saying you’re thrilled, excited, honored, or afflicted with some other phony emotion. Anyway:

I see some Musk apologists saying that his two nazi salutes at a Trump event were just him being provocative.

That’s like someone holding a real gun up against your head and having it be ok because someone else explained later that it was unloaded and that the gun holder was just trying to be provocative.

Others blamed it on Musk being neurodivergent, but I wonder whether the US needs a neurodivergent shadow POTUS.
