Elon's strong legacy is imo masking a mental decline. People are excusing behavior on his part because of what he's built in the past but imo its not so simple.

Differentiating between 5d chess and delusional behavior is not easy. I'm personally inclined to think its the latter, but there's admittedly room for debate.

The reason I think this is because it is failure mode that is not uncommon in highly driven, egocentric geniuses. Especially one individual who has stated on record that they are taking ketamine, a powerful dissociative drug.
