This is just re-asserting the opinion that he's unhinged rather than shitposting for entertainment. Nothing you've presented suggests anything "unhinged", and investors can decide for themselves if his "risky behaviour" warrants their money.

If you seriously think Musk would decide to not assist, you're deluded. Not only would he not do this for personal ethical reasons and his interest in space exploration, he knows most of his staff would resign in protest, and that would also be the end of SpaceX's government contracts, and thus basically the end of SpaceX.
If he's truly unhinged as you claim, then you can expect that this will happen sometime soon. I won't hold my breath.

I agree - it would be completely irrational. I just think Musk does irrational things from time to time. There's nothing wrong with that, it's his right as a private individual. I do irrational things myself sometimes. But if I was at NASA in charge of manned space flight and you gave me a choice of staking my crew's safety on Musk alone, or Musk but with Starliner as a backup option I would keep the backup option around
