More charitably, he's cornered, lashing out, and not making sense. None of us do when we're cornered.

His team is probably trying to figure out how to spin everything even as we write here.

On a positive note, he's reacting a lot like the rest of us and not like a totally gone sociopath - there's a human inside that billionaire!

Many of us might feel that way internally or in private when we’re frustrated, but few would go up on stage, say that in front of the whole world and wait for applause afterward. Regardless of his political opinions or personal temperament, he seems to have lost touch with reality.

Few would have that same opportunity.

The reat of us who run businesses would say "oh, when I do X, I lose revenue. I will not do X anymore. Maybe I will do some anti-X and try to grow it instead."

What, no? He’s behaving erratically, flailing, and blaming everyone but himself for his failure as a leader. That’s not how we all act, and clearly narcissistic behavior. The sociopathy is evident the other day from his “graveyard” tweet.

He's responsible for his actions and words to his employees, remaining customers and co-investors. How's this behavior not sociopathic? he's not accounting for the impact to others.
