I do, too. I hope I find more layers to add to that support for me.

He may not be "as successful" but that gentleman probably has far more moral integrity than Musk does.

He has "success"....because he came from money. He takes credit for the work of others. He didn't found Tesla, he bought it. He didn't invent any of those cars, his workers did. He can't even credit an artist who's work he reposted when people politely asked him to. And any time he does something cringe or throws a shit fit, Tesla's stock goes down.
And what of Twitter? Also something he bought, and screwed a lot of people over. Especially small artists who already struggled because the algorithm was shit, and the only "viable" way to avoid it is a stupid subscription service he wanted to impliment, as if he needs more fuckibg money. He's so stupid that he fired the "bottom half" of his staff because they had the least amount of coding (PS, less coding is more efficient).
Most autistic people here do notcome fom money or even a decent family, never mind their income. We live from paycheck to paychck or disability if we got lucky jumping through hoops. And even then that money doesn't come for weeks or months.
He's everything autistic people SHOULD NOT strive to be.

Autistic person here.
Elon Musk is a terrible example considering he comes from old money and spends his time being maliciously incompetent and shitting on people because "I'm rich and ur not lol". And that's not the "lack of empathy" or autism making him incompetent either. Dude's a full on sociopath.
He also tried to "cure" autism when the only way to do that would be to kill autistic people. It's part of who we are, and it's not us who need to adjust. It's the world around us who treat us like shit 99% of the time.
Most autistic people (at least in the US) can't even get employed full time much less get rich or have a business. 50% are employed, and only 15% work full time. Most of us also don't even live to be 40 due to elevated rates of depression and suicide because of how we get treated by people around us.
inb4 the elon simps to downvote me into oblivion for criticizing the guy they wanna suck off.

I second that notion on Sleeping Bear. Just...Northern Michigan in general is beautiful. If you like camping it's like heaven.

Reply to Newsom says the state is on track to cut unsheltered homelessness by 15% in two years and vowed to provide 1,200 tiny homes to help achieve that goal. by ElectrikDonuts
I'm curious whether they can keep that up or not.
Cali has had a nasty habit of trying to keep the homeless "out of sight" without helping them.
