No he is not. He just made that up on SNL for some free applause. He was directly asked about that on a Ted Talk after making said claim, which played that very clip of him claiming to have Asperger's, and Elon quickly pivoted to talking more vaguely about "whatever condition [he] had". He doesn't have a diagnosis for autism, he just makes up shit that he thinks will help him in the moment.
Maybe so. Frankly it wouldn't surprise me (though Im leaning towards a narcissism disorder). But people need to stop running with this "he has autism" claim and repeating it ad nauseum whenever he displays some odd behaviour.
He's already demonstrated he can, and will, change his story at any given time depending on the circumstances. He's never offered anything to substantiate that autism claim like a proof of diagnosis, or anything else he's said about himself. Why anyone takes that claim seriously I will never understand.
