I'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.
