Accusing Elon of mental illness doesn't do any good. It implicitly absolves him off responsibility for his actions, while encouraging harmful stereotypes about mental illnesses.
Weird take. Having a mental illness doesn’t absolve you from responsibility. Where do you get this bullshit from?
Not in the personal sense of guilt, but in the sense of personhood. When you say Elon's actions are the result of an illness rather than a free unbiased choice, you're saying that such actions, such evil if you'll excuse the evocative language, cannot be the result of a person but must be the doing of an illness
Illness or not he’s a fucking asshole who deserves to eat shit
Yes, that was the position I started my argument from. Why are you saying it like it's an argument?
Because you think having a mental disease absolves you from your actions. Wrong.
No I don't. You don't really understand what this conversation is about, do you?
That kind of personal attack isn't okay.
Neither is your opinion
