You could also include John DeLorean, who was reduced to dealing watches after getting arrested for cocaine trafficking (it was a total setup, DeLorean would never have gotten into it if he hadn't been goaded by the FBI's informant), or Howard Hughes, who went totally insane after a string of massive successes and ended up spending his time rewatching the same movie on repeat and restacking tissue boxes in his penthouse.
- Zigurd 3y agoI've been reading up on Howard Hughes out of idle curiosity recently. His diverse business interests struck me as a parallel to Elon. Howard Hughes's isolation came after a series of plane crashes, including one where he was burned over most of his body and had severe physical injuries on top of that. While I was not able to find definitive answers, it may be that his isolation was due to him being in severe chronic pain from his injuries.
