Problem is the world autist has become so disconnected from the psych definition that it can mean almost anything but usually ends up meaning someone who doesn't act as one wishes they would act. Musk and his handlers have taken advantage of this to put him in the same category as harmless dorks obsessing over trains. Because people like calling others autists, it makes it easy for him to hide behind that label as others gleefully apply it to him.
