You don't lile how the guy votes. Who he supports. We get it. That doesn't mean he has to be a devil worshipping, child sacrificing satanic minion from hell bent in restoring Hitler.

I think the ADL knows what it's talking about. Sometimes an awkward gesture is just an awkward gesture. He has Asperger's, full stop.

"Those contemptible fools" lamented Musk. Doesn't sound like someone supporting hateful ideology to me. Maybe it's just me, not looking for a problem.

Why is it the only person on the spectrum of Autism is accused of something blatantly divergent from his past (and current) demonstrable beliefs? And the evidence being used to justify laying down such a horrific indictment against a fellow human? A single awkward gesture that doesn't comport with any past statements or behaviors of this type?

Would you want to be slandered with such flimsy "evidence"?
