What is wrong with him? I think he legit needs psychiatric help.

Maybe the people who get this rich due so at the cost of their mental health. Maybe it’s not healthy for a single person to hold so much wealth.

Deep down, does he know what he is doing is wrong? Is his Twitter behavior an expression of some negative feelings he can’t cope with?

It makes perfect sense once you understand money is a hard drug.

No one needs this much money, they could be living a quit happy fulfilling life but instead all they do is try to obtain more, at the expense of social relations, their family and their own mental health. They destroy their own lives to get the dopamine hit of the numbers going up.

People like Elon are addicts. Greed is an illness but rather than giving these people medical help to stop hoarding excess wealth we glorify their problem like their winning.

He’s always been a shit head like this. He just got rich enough that he thought he could get away with showing his true colors.

The dude comes from a family of slave owners and was born with a silver spoon up his ass.

I'm pretty sure he's high, like, all the time now.

So am I, but I don't act like this.

He is a Narcissist. Yes, that is a medical condition. He is thoroughly unable to recognize other people as equal. They are mere nuisances.

They are mere nuisances.

Until they are in power.

He's more and more turning into Trump minus the dementia. In Germany we have the term "Cäsarenwahn", for when someone loses touch with reality from having too much unchallenged power. Haven't found any English equivalent so maybe it's time for another loan word.

Is that derived from caesar as in a Roman emperor? Because that's pretty cool if it is.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago

Yes. It literally means "lunacy of ceasars". Ancient Rome had plenty of examples.

This isn't technology news.... It's business news, and Elon spam.

Just look at the comment section how many comments are actually related to technology?

Can we not put the bar on the floor?
