Like most mental health issues they don’t generally discuss the specific diagnosis. But reading in this article and others they discuss manic behavior as well as periods of deep depression. That’s effectively bipolar. The disorder comes about when the mania and depression results in dysfunction, such as addiction. The narcissism comes about because of the intense self interest in both the manic phase and the depressive phase. But I’ve not found a specific diagnosis disclosure anywhere - just as I said explicit discussion of mania and depression.
Musk has disclosed specifically he is bipolar. It’s a better explanation of his behavior than autism.
The issue is that people with bipolar it’s almost diagnostic they refuse or don’t comply with treatment even when acknowledging their disorder. When you are wealthy you can get away with that, and people around you will even feed your mania to their own benefit.

- fnordpiglet 4y agoWhat specifically did Tony do that was bad? It was almost universally aspiring to do good, just in a bizarre and clearly mentally ill way. You’ll note in every biography and article and discussion of the guy they pin his problems on unnamed mental health issues, with specific references to periods of mania and depression. You don’t have to be a genius to identify bipolar from that description. That’s literally the diagnostic definition of bipolar. He was almost certainly Bipolar I, but 100% Bipolar II. The diagnostic criteria isn’t particularly involved and is essentially marked by mania and depression of varying severity: https://floridabhcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Bipolar-Disorders_Adult-Guidelines-2019-2020.pdf https://floridabhcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Bipol...
