I don't blame Elon as much as I blame the responsible adults around him. No one appears to be setting any limits. My armchair psychoanalysts observation is that his son transistioning to a woman and his wife Grimes leaving him to date Chelsea Manning (transwoman) seemed to break him. But never mind that, the details of what breaks people don't matter. People have crisis.

I assumed we've made progress since the days of Howard Hughes' madness. I'm surprised corporate boards and wise advisors would be able to get him some help and require it actually, since he has so many responibilities but has been blowing it with drug use and erratic behavior. Is he all alone in the world or is it that he won't listen to anyway while he self-destructs?

I did not know about grimes and manning. Truth is stranger than fiction!
It's only my business because he lashed out at the trans activists on Twitter who were pretty powerful at shaping the conversation at the time. I believe he wanted to destroy their platfrom and that's why he said he'd buy it, then changed his mind and then was made to buy it. I miss the old Twitter but it is nice to be able to tweet knowing a twitter mob of trans allies won't try to character assasinate me for something I unwittingly said. So thanks Elon?
