My prediction is that Elon will end up like Hughes before long, and likely in much worse shape.

I don't think that would be a fair to Howard Hughes - he was a real deal engineer and suffered his illnesses and injuries mostly in private.

I see Musk more on the Tony Hsieh / John McAfee / John DeLorean type trajectory: the drugs, the ego, the need for attention and probably a few indictments as things fall apart.

That's fair. And he didn't drag half the world down with him.
