I'm not talking Trump or Vance here, I'm simply using Elon Musk as an example simply because it's recent and I don't care what someone on reddit thinks, the man is obviously autistic and people would slip a switch if you denied someone else having such a disorder but bit's alright as he's the new political enemy, a man who just brought us decades past what NASA has done in decades itself in space technology. My point is there is no punching down and when you say there is punching down you're saying that someone is lesser to another person because of some trait they have which is incredibly backwards thinking and feels absolutely gross. 

>obviously autistic

Didn't realize you were a doctor. You're basing this off what?

>if you denied someone else

The point isn't denying that he's autistic. It's me pointing out it shouldn't matter to you. 

Him being autistic isn't an excuse of anything. 

>a man who just brought us decades past what NASA has done in decades itself in space technology

Nope.

>you're saying that someone is lesser to another person

Nope, it has nothing to do with the traits of the person. People that are billionaires obviously have more power than people who aren't.

I'm not saying it'd an excuse and it doesn't matter if he does or not, just hypothetically if he did still works for the point I' making. I wasn't intending  to defend nor endorse Musk in any way (even though I think he's still a brilliant mind at work) it's simply an example to show how punching down is ridiculous. Change it to anyone else who had some form of a disability and see how ridiculous it sounds. Are you at a disability? Or in a "marginalised group". I put that in quotes cause I believe there to be no such thing. If you'd are then you'd know how gut wrenching it is when people say things like you're getting punched down to, like you're not equal.
