Elon Musk says he has Asperger's syndrome
Lifestyle
Elon Musk hosted the Saturday Night Live show and confessed to having Asperger's syndrome.
"I'm actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger's to host SNL ... or at least the first to admit it," the Tesla CEO said during the opening monologue of the show.
"Look I know I sometimes say or post strange things, but that's just how my brain works," he said.
"To anyone who's been offended, I just want to say I reinvented electric cars, and I'm sending people to Mars in a rocket ship," said the SpaceX founder. "Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?"
Asperger's Syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder characterized, inter alia, by difficulties in socialization and stereotypical behavior.
