He's personally very wealthy, seems to have some mental issues, and has admitted to having a ketamine habit (although he also claims it's good for share prices). That's a combination that would make pretty much anyone struggle with attachment to reality.
The takeaway for me is that as a fundraiser and hype man, before he ruined his reputation, he was pretty successful, but in all other ways he's a massive self-promoting hack.
- rchaud 3y agoHe wasn't really talked about as a hype man before, was he? The world is full of them: Adam Neumann, Travis Kalanick come to mind. The hagification of Musk in the press was on another level, like Steve Jobs, DaVinci and Obama rolled together. That this carefully crafted illusion is falling apart due to his online ramblings and bizarre business decisions is something worthy of study. He and Kanye West share a very similar trajectory in this regard.
- dzhiurgis 3y ago> ketamine habit I don't think you've ever seen anyone with ketamine habit (keywords: UK k-hole). Pretty stupid thing to say about someone who has medical prescription for ketamine to treat depression while they work 100hrs per week.
- EA-3167 3y agoMaybe working 100 hours a week to the point that you need ketamine to cope isn't a very bright idea. Based on the Cybertruck and "X", it's easy to see that this wouldn't be his first less-than-stellar move on the old 3D chess board.
