She's not speaking metaphorically, in my read, she is saying people like "Thiel, Musk and Andreesen" don't just share an ideology, they share a personality disorder. The super-powerful companies they run and the ecosystem of people that idolize them for some reason are just outgrowths of their immaturity, self-centeredness, and so on.

- omginternets 3y agoEven if I were to accept your premise, I’d disagree with your conclusion. There will be powerful people with “personality disorders” [0] in any sufficiently large group. Her analysis just isn’t very interesting. It’s merely a well-written rant. [0] I am deliberately ignoring the fact that if we are being literal, these people most certainly do not have a personality disorder, unpalatable though their characters may be.
