      The over exaggerated movements and speech patterns, mostly. Musk is an awkward guy, but they just took it to an absurd level in my opinion.

        That’s not a stereotype of low support needs autism. That’s just Elon being weird.

        If you look at their parody of other people who are non autistic but wacky, you’ll find the same exaggeration.

        “they took it to an absurd level”… And you think a comedy sketch show should have chilled with the exaggeration to be more realistic?

          I think a “Legendary Performance” would have been a little more subtle. The joke was more about mannerisms, and that alone just isn’t deserving of “Legendary”
