Exactly what I meant, my words should have been less poetic perhaps. He's putting so much pressure on himself and his companies (a lot of the time self imposed), and the media treats him unfairly a lot of the time. What I'm seeing is nothing but signs of burnout indeed, nothing personality related

I find the idea that the media treats Elon Musk unfairly laughable. He is consitently portrayed either as a genius that can make anything happen or as a lunatic that can make anything happen. He couldn't have more favorable media coverage if he was writing the headlines himself.

That's exactly what unfair means: he's not a genius nor a lunatic. Favorable (never used that term) ≠ Fair
