Elon Musk
Elon Musk made headlines in May 2021 when he hosted Saturday Night Live and publicly disclosed his autism diagnosis in his opening monologue. With his casual mention of being the first person with Asperger's syndrome to host the show, Musk shed light on a neurological condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
Asperger's syndrome is a form of autism spectrum disorder that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior patterns. By speaking openly about his condition, Musk helped to reduce stigma surrounding autism and raise awareness about the challenges individuals on the spectrum face.
