Rumor is that he's been on a stimulants / sleep aids cycle working ludicrous hours. You can only sustain that for so long before your brain throws a rod and starts banging and chugging and emitting a lot of smoke.
There are tweets in support of this, like him talking about Ambien.

Ambien is known to produce some weird states of mind. I used it briefly and can attest to this, though I never got a visit from the walrus:

I admire Elon a lot, and I hope he takes a break and gets his head sorted. When I first heard about the tweets causing the SEC to sue I speculated to my wife that his subconscious mind had engineered this event to force him to take a break as some kind of mental self-preservation circuit breaker.
- dahdum 8y agoRosanne blamed Ambien, and I wouldn’t be surprised if more public figures do. It’s a convenient scapegoat that doesn’t injure their reputation like admitting hard drug use or alcohol abuse would. Musk couldn’t have been thinking straight when he sent that tweet, but we’ll likely never know the real story. I think that’s OK, he’s entitled to some personal privacy too.
