Elon Musk Asks For Public Support… And That’s A Bit Of A Red Flag For Me
From the “I didn’t have this on my BINGO card” department comes a very odd Tweet from Elon Musk in response to a Wall Street Journal story about him. Here’s the Tweet in question:
Now I do question if Twitter is truly trending towards a breakeven point. But I will go down that rabbit hole another day. The fact that Elon is calling the last three months “pain”, along with the fact that he wouldn’t wish this on anyone, and asking for public support are maybe signs that he’s not in a good place mentally. It’s got to be tough to be in his situation with a significant part of the planet wanting him to fail. Not to mention watching Elon’s personal fortune go into free fall. Now to be clear, I’m not making excuses for the guy, or turning this into a “poor Elon Musk” sort of story. But all of that, along with whatever else he has going on is going to be incredibly hard on anyone’s mental health.

My question is, how long can this go on before something happens to him, never mind one or all of his companies?
