Elon Musk’s Biographer Warns Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’ Due To ‘Combination Of Depression, Drugs And Stress’
“...take him off the internet permanently.”
I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
He's doing it too himself, fuck off.
No one asked him to be a co-nazi. No one asked him to take over Twitter. No one asked him to play make-believe auto maker. No one is asking for his fucking biography. He's acting like everyone is pulling him in all these different directions, and no one wants him.
He is the world's richest fucking man. Fuck him. He could have the best doctors/therapy/drugs in the world, could travel the world and "find himself," maybe even do something worth writing about. But he chooses to be a completely waste of human flesh that will be nothing but a smear in history. That's his legacy. A shit smear on an already shit covered era. He's not helping anyone, not even his own kids, he is willfully putting his effort into being the biggest piece of shit.
Fuck him. Fuck his depression, fuck his addiction, fuck his stress, and fuck him. He's ruining my country and wants pity because it's stressing him out.
FUCK HIM
Yeah. He could fuck off and never have to speak to another person or do anything he didn't want to do if he wanted with just a tiny fraction of his wealth. He doesn't have to be this way. He chose it. He's like a child breaking things for attention.
People show you who they really are when they can do anything they want. Elon is failing at it much worse than someone who sits on the couch and does weed all day.
Just another drug-addicted Hitler.
I expect the problem is that, when you get that rich, people stop caring about you, they start caring about your money. A string of women who just smash a kid out for him then fuck off. Kids who don't seem to want anything to do with him. Does he have anyone he actually considers a true friend? Probably not. He's just surrounded by bootlickers and yes men, and deep down he knows it. He's probably deeply lonely and paranoid.
Not that I care. He's also a cunt.
If he wasn't a cunt then maybe I'd care but he makes it so easy to enjoy his own suffering.
I said this long ago on Lemmy. I pity him. He has nothing of value.
If shit hit the fan I have many around me who love me and want me to succeed. I have 3 kids who rely on me and love me deeply. I have coworkers who love me. I have family who love me. I also love all these people back immensely.
What he has is stuff. Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him. He's probably a cold, cruel and heartless person when he's alone and I bet he's alone a lot. No one loves him for who he is.
Seriously he's the richest man in the world and he's so small. He deserves our pity nothing more.
I agree, except for the pity. I could no more pity him than I could a bloated parasite or leach feeding on my own children.
Stuff leaves you cold and empty inside. He has no one who loves him.
This is very apparent when you look at his falling out with his daughter. She basically pointed all this out, and that he couldn't just make up for being a shitty dad for years and years by one time "Look, I sold all my stuff!" type gestures.
But "stuff" is literally all he knows, and so when he was called out on it, it seems to have absolutely broken him and now he's on this massive anti-trans crusade as a way of getting back at her.
Oh no please don't kill yourself live on X, that would own the liberals too hard
Maybe if we can stress him out enough he'll have a heart attack
Or a ketamine OD
imagine ruining people's lives so you can have all the money, only for you to still be miserable. dont get me wrong im happy he is.
Don’t forget this guy bragged a few years back about not sleeping or sleeping in his office. Let’s not discount how years of sleep deprivation has probably influenced his chaotic behavior.
I don't buy that shit for a second. He can't tell the truth if he wanted to. Back when he made these claims, overwatch just launched and he spend all day on twitter telling people he works 20 hours a day, plays a lot of overwatch, binges 6 different animes, and spends a lot of time with his family.
spends a lot of time with his family.
Well, the rest of them are probably true, but we know this definitely isn't the case.
It's prolly the drugs keeping him awake
Even on LSD you have to eventually stop playing Overwatch.
I know the perfect cure: a vacation to Mars on a Starship. It would remove any depression and drug addiction.
Soon as he starts foaming at the mouth, call animal control to come and lo his head off fothe rabies study
"Elon Didn't Kill Himself"
Oh please, I'd like to be part of that investigation. Not that I care who would've done it, only that is happened.
Can’t happen fast enough.
He's a ketamine abuser, so it checks out.
Short-term side effects of ketamine use may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, feeling strange or “loopy,” difficulty speaking, numbness, blurred vision, or nausea. Ketamine may also cause changes in blood pressure and heart rate.11
Studies show that unsupervised ketamine use may have serious health risks.1 These include respiratory depression, which is dangerously slow and shallow breathing. A NIDA-funded study found that problems related to ketamine use reported to poison control centers increased 81% from 2019-2021. The use of other drugs along with ketamine, especially opioids or GHB, another club drug, led to the most health problems, some of them life-threatening.12
Long-term, heavy ketamine use is associated with memory problems, depression, and anxiety.13 At high doses, ketamine may cause psychosis, a mental illness that causes a person to lose touch with reality. Frequent recreational ketamine use can lead to delusions that can last to up to one month after a person stops using it.14
Long-term use of ketamine may cause gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain sometimes called k-cramps5. Ketamine use can also cause ketamine-induced uropathy, a treatable but potentially serious condition that causes symptoms like those of a urinary tract infection.15,16
From NIDA.
Man someone should introduce him to whippets
Depressed you say? Go on Elon, follow your leader.
Burn that shit down
Maybe he ought to do himself and us a favour and just… delete himself.
ive been living with a combination of drugs depression and stress for most of my life and im not a megalomaniac asshole billionaire hellbent on destroying the country...
Yeah that's the key takeaway.
A billion dollars turns you into some kind of Duke, or Landed Noble.
Where you can like.. buy a small army, take over a country, that sort of thing.
Billionaires shouldn't exist.
Fun fact: Power Causes Brain Damage
But if you had money, you might just be.
I volunteer to test. Oh what a horrible and difficult thing I must do for science. Do you do direct deposit?
Broke ass cant even destroy the world with his depression
/s
No shit Sherlock.
A mad king you say...
I did not see this published outside of India. But not sure why. It’s all based on Xitter.
American media is 50% terrified of criticizing him and losing access, and 50% complicit.
Cool, i hope he has a painful and debilitating aneurysm during a live interview in the Oval.
Stop, my penis can only get so erect.
Only if he also soils himself.
Homeboys scams are coming to an end and those will destroy him, so he is trying to destroy America instead and has found useful greedy idiots to help.
I must imagine it is quite stressful to be the single most hated person on the planet. Then again, I think that would be easy to remedy by simply not being a fascist fuckwit.
Cool. Get fucked asshole.
Well said, and may I add, with a rusty reamer
Jaggedy for his pleasure. Better add diy reaming lube...mix hot pepper powder in lemon juice and vinegar. Mix with honey for a pasty texture that sticks.
Goddam. That's an old, big, reamer. Looks like it's for hand reaming wood. Modern reamers for metal are very different.
The funny thing is, that's the perfect tool to ream a bunghole for a good fit for a plug.
Praying for the worst for him. 🙏
Wealth doesn't heal old wounds. You can be the most powerful man in the world and not feel in control.
He needs a good therapist not a biographer.
Just when I was starting to feel some sympathy for him I googled "Elon Musk therapy" and this was the first thing to come up...
"Guys would rather upend the world economy and peace in a ketamine bender than go to therapy"
I would never defend Elon, but therapy ain't for everybody. I gave it a good honest try and my therapist fired me.
Finding a good match isn't easy but it's crucial.
Given how this douche canoe acts, and the damage he's done lately, I just hope he finds himself in a very slow, painful decline and maybe he'll snap while in the oval office with first lady Trump.
Can we get a fast painful decline? Minimize how much harm he does to... everyone?
No no no... we want a very RAPID decline to minimize the damage. If he were on his own, it'd be different but this is a time I'd rather minimize the suffering for everyone.
I'm still down for the painful one at least.
Elon? Going mad? How is that possible, the guy's been mad since the beginning. He's a narcicitic asshole who can't handle that not everyone loves him and believes his lies so he turns super evil. I know OD on ketamine is hard, but I hope he'll try, and if he succeeds, it will be his first accomplishment which is actually good for this world.
He definitely used to be better at acting normal, or at least was smart enough to stay out of the spotlight.
he will probably OD on cocaine, or die from alcohol poisoning.
Imagine having more money than anyone's ever had
Being stressed, depressed, drug addicted, and an actual Nazi.
Times like this I think about Enya. Yeah, Enya. Where's she been? In a fucking castle. With a fuck ton of kitties.
She made her millions and said "oh golly, I don't need to do much of anything anymore. And I quite like castles and kittens."
She didn't say "what can I do to make more people like me?" And then please the most hateful people on earth. How are these paths even a choice one has to ponder? Go fuck off in a castle full of cats.
It's kinda crazy to me because let's say you do want to be the most beloved person on earth AND you have more money than anyone ever, you could do that?
Like at one point musk said if there was a plan to end world hunger in 6 billion dollars he would do it, and of course he didn't... But if he did, a small fraction of his infinite wealth would be gone, but people would have loved him.
If, Tesla actually produced a fully self-driving electric car that was better and cheaper than anything else, he'd have even more fans than he currently does.
If, he actually created high speed mass transit, instead of whatever the fucking "hyperloop" thing he made is.
He could have done probably all of this for the price of twitter, but nah instead he had to go be a nazi.
Doing like even half this list would make him beloved by the average person who isn't too interested in him. They'd see all the good he does and say "That's what a billionaire should be." and not do any digging. It's honestly batshit insane to me that someone can say "everyone hates me and it makes me sad but I'm not going to do anything about this because clearly they are the ones that are wrong."
Like how do you fuck it up so bad. The first time I heard of the guy I bought into that "elon musk is ironman" persona thing, and now he's just a crazed nazi I want nothing to do with.
all that turned out to be scams, his charities, the hyperloop was meant to stop california from developing thier own fast rail system.
This is the difference between the ultra-wealthy of the gilded age and today. Those of the gilded age built things with their wealth for the public, so they wouldn't turn against them. Today they think they're untouchable. They hoard their wealth and don't try to do anything with it.
Yet, the gilded age came to an end with regulations, because they were amassing too much wealth. They only had a small fraction of what the ultra-wealthy today have. Something needs to be done about them, and the government isn't taking action...
Narcissism, ego, and wealth create one hell of a combination.
He wants to be worshipped by the masses, but he's also the kind of person who needs to appear powerful and can't stand being in any position but first. He has to be the richest person while also being the most adored, and he isn't willing to sacrifice anything to achieve the latter.
Like at one point musk said if there was a plan to end world hunger in 6 billion dollars he would do it, and of course he didn’t… But if he did, a small fraction of his infinite wealth would be gone, but people would have loved him.
Not just that, but an NGO said we could do it in that budget and he bought Twitter with the money instead
For him it was his parents and South Africa. Drugs + environmental influence is the guaranteed way to create a monster.
Basically his entire childhood he understood that there are two classes of people: the people who earned something, and the other is the rest of us. People who look different, have to work, or talk funny.
Turns out, having obscene levels of wealth and power is really bad for your psyche.
We talk a lot about taxing billionaires for the good of the 99%, but it would do wonders for the well-being of the 1% as well.
We were just having a similar discussion, though not about Enya. My position was if I had a billion dollars, you know what I would do? I'd recreate Hogwarts Castle. I'm not even a huge Harry Potter fan and hate what's-her-name, but how cool would it be to live in a beautiful movie set house the size of a small town?
unlike jk rowling using her wealth and fame to become a "terf", i think shes buddy buddy with musk too. she must be constantly depressed and stressed from that too. and many pointed out her books are actually low-key her prejudices. also family guy has pointed this issue out 2 different cutscenes too.
I read a "fuck ton of titties" and got a little confused
Also good.
I didn't expect to learn about Enya in this discussion. Thank you, kind sir!
Not to defend Musk, but there are plenty of examples of money destroying someone’s life. I’m thinking primarily lottery winners. Just because one person successfully adjusted to it doesn’t mean it’s easy and everyone can.
Of course Musk is a special case where he ruins other people’s lives with his wealth but that’s not my point.
The idea that 70% of lottery winners lose all their winnings isn't true. It's based on a fake statistic.
The news loves to highlight the cases where that's true because it reinforces the cultural notion that wealth is tied to morality.
Welp, I have a new goal in life.
I hope Yanni is in a palace full of pups. And Rhys Fulber a temple full of snakes (I'm assuming he likes snakes).
Just to pointlessly clarify, this is article is a paraphrasing of tweets by a journalist who calls himself a Musk biographer. The quoted journalist is not, as the possessive apostrophe in the headline implies, a biographer hired by Musk.
I didn't realize it was the guy behind the Proof series, but I like his work. His book on Elon is apparently upcoming.
Some zippy quotes from that article include:
Musk “was sued for stealing the idea for Zip2—which fired him as soon as investors got involved” and “was going to run PayPal into the ground after his company merged with it—again he was fired.” He then “invested in Tesla when it was distressed and quickly began running it into the ground.”
Musk founded Zip2, described as “a sort of digital Yellowpages” by Belmont Hill School’s The Panel Online, with his brother. The outlet reported that in an attempt to impress investors in the company, Musk “created a large, fake casing around the Zip2 computer to make it seem like an extremely advanced supercomputer” — a move that worked, but investors who put $3 million into the company did so only after Musk agreed to step down so “someone more experienced to take his place.”
The code used by the program, which Musk taught himself, “was soon exposed to be so scrambled that a majority of the program had to be rewritten by more advanced programmers.”
Musk ultimately returned to the company as CEO and benefitted financially when it was sold to COMPAQ in 1999. He used the $22 million his 7% share brought in to an “internet bank” at X.com — the same company he merged with the founders of Paypal. He was named CEO after the merger in April 2000 but was removed from the position six months later.
SpaceX, Abramson continued, is Musk’s only “truly successful and novel company” and a chunk of its success was owed to President Obama, who Musk “successfully lobbied” after “Russians had laughed Musk out of Moscow.”
biographers are not always and more clearly rarely "hired" by their subjects.
True, hence why the grammar used in the headline implied to me that these were the words of a biographer either hired, or at least sanctioned, by Musk himself. So I just wanted to point it out in case other people were having the same interpretation as me.
So he a Musk biographer, not Musk's biographer.
What does the richest man in history have to stress about. He doesn't know the meaning of real stress. The pansy.
I do think he has stress, but it's self-induced. He's clearly mentally unwell. Honestly, makes me think of that BoJack Horseman episode where you hear his inner monologue throughout the show and it's just things comments directed at himself like, "you piece of shit.", "You're so fat", etc.
Not an excuse at all for his actions, but I do really think that's what's going on. He hates himself. Needs constant validation. But no amount of validation is going to soothe his inner monologue. So he's spiraling while his stress continues to grow.
drug induced stress. cocaine making him stay up all day making hundreds of tweets every few days.
It's not the most important reason by a long shot, but it's yet another reason why extreme wealth hoarding, aka billionaires and centimillionaires, should have been taxed out of existence and legislated from existing going forward:
Even they aren't happy, even sitting in the complete victory of their coup. They could have a dozen space station mansions each and they still wouldn't be satiated or satisfied. They can't be satisfied. That is their defining character deficit. Literally everybody loses so long as the avarice diseased capitalists remain in charge, even them. The intensity of their cringeworthy attempts at social media flexes betrays their intent and blasts us all with their screaming insecurities day in and day out.
They're mentally ill with an obsession/compulsion related disorder that they've manipulated civilization into enabling at literally every possible expense, including mass human murder and seriously risking human extinction for short term private profit.
They should be in mental health facilities receiving inpatient treatment for their extremely destructive antisocial behaviors for both their and everyone else's safety and wellbeing, too bad at least in the US they defunded mental healthcare into utter ruin (and education, and common infrastructure, etc) to cut their own taxes through their captured government.
The inmates are truly running the asylum our society.
A good way to think about it, how would society percieve them if they were hoarding anything else at this scale?
Imagine the guy having warehouses all over the world filled with toilet paper, private security around the compound, and campaign ads to reduce real estate taxes for storage units.
Or somebody having the largest lego collection in the world, constant buying out and threatening other collectors.
It’s a mental illness.
I've read a load of academic articles on psychopaths recently. Narcissism is linked to all sorts of terrible behaviours, and cos they don't accept they're wrong, they don't tend to change their behaviour even when they're hurting themselves
I’m sure there are some that are happy but you never hear about them. A secure, well-adjusted individual with boat-loads of money doesn’t need to stir shit up. They can relax.
The insecure, maladjusted individuals will constantly be defending themselves against perceived threats despite having the means to offload all of that to paid professionals.
Well said friend! I agree wholeheartedly.
Thats why power and management of a country should be spread thin, to avoid that corruption from a single point to affect the life of many
The ancient Roman understood this simple concept, but it somehow goes over so many modern people’s heads.
Nailed it! Just like in nature and agriculture, monocultures are vulnerable. One disease can wipe out an entire population. Same principal can be applied to almost anything.
and farmers dependant on a single crop where its vulnerable to market/tariffs fluctations too.
That's the exact thesis proposed in The Dictator's Handbook by Bueno de Mesquita and Smith for making a government good for its constituents. Coalition size is THE most important feature.
Ain't easy being a space Nazi.
space karen, temu stark, phoney stark.
Good.
"going" is doing a lot of work here...
Going implies he's not there yet and there is much worse to come.
OMG, Trump is already providing such an epic show, and Elon is clearly doing his part too. Are you saying that Elon could knock it up a notch? I thought 2020 was crazy, but apparently we aren't even in full-on crazy mode yet. This is already proving to be a popcorn heavy season, but this could only be the teaser trailer?
🍿🍿🍿
He's been saying it for a while tho
It's quite clear he has been getting steadily worse over the years, so I don't get the rationale of your comment.
Extremely heavy lift.
permanently
How permanently? Luigi?

I’m leaving this here for no particular reason.
That guy's mental health reached rock bottom years ago. He has been digging ever since.
his brain can only function while its bathing in ketamine, dom perrignon, nad cocaine.
Probably around middle school judging by his attitude and behavior. He hasn’t matured emotionally or intellectually since then.
12 by most peoples account, consider he uses language like that of a MSer. trumps brain turned to mush decades ago from adderall and cocaine.
If you have enough wealth to be forever above consequences, you don’t ever need to endure the discomfort of growing
Good. I hope it puts him in a grave
Something that gets me giddy is the knowledge that I'll be able to live through the deaths of Trump and Musk - they're two insane, incredibly unhealthy wackos that will either kill themselves with addiction or be killed by a hero with a gun.
Either way, I'm going out and celebrating when they kick the bucket 🎉🎉🎉
I hope it all progresses faster
Good. I hope he spirals out quickly and with minimal damage to anyone but himself.
Sorry Seth.
Pretty sure no actually cares about him anymore. He is just like Trump, a vessel to 'win'.
So exactly like Hitler was. Great. This isn't alarming at all.
Better for Musk to be evil and in mental decline, than for him to be evil and stable. The latter implies that he would be around long enough to see his plans through.
Im so glad we have two mentally fit gentlemen working to bring down the entire system of U.S. government.
Why can't he just kill himself? Why does he need to bring the entire country down with him? Piece of shit.
Can't he just do like normal depressed people and off himself?
I'm team-going completely offline and taking rehab\therapy. I'm not convinced he'd drop his liquidated actives into charity or get involved some other stuff to undo the damage. But I do enjoy the prospects of such future when the most rich person on Earth unintentionally promotes mental health and at least stops his razor-swinging run around every institution.
Another great display of the harm the patriarchy does to men. Asking for help when it comes to human emotions and mental health should be normalized. Dude has the power and money to bring us all down with him.
Is it time to lock him away in an asylum yet?
Approved
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
I wish I could give you gold for that
Musk works for Putin.
and putin works for XI(consider they resource rights in russia.) the dragon controls the bear that controls the clowns
Wouldn't surprise me but is there any proof of that?
Besides taking multiple meetings with Putin, campaigning for and funding Trump, purchasing Twitter to promote Russian propaganda, actually buying votes, calling a US Navy Captain with 25 years of service and now Senator Mark Kelly a traitor— for supporting our longstanding ally Ukraine; and now the wrecking ball destruction of the US government, no proof. Strong theorem however.
Good
Does he have enough drugs? Should we send more??
The person who provides his ketamine could be a fucking hero... All it would take is a teeny tiny bit of fentanyl...
He probably has a taster.
Maybe he just needs the right doctor.
Anybody know what Michael Jackson's old doctor is up to?
I say we send him to the Canadian border to personally test the fentanyl.
