Having known several people who “snapped” and watching Musk for more than a decade, it really seems to me like that’s what happened in his case. But I’m not psychologist. Few people on social media seem curious about the nature of behavior and motives, most just want to feel like warriors against Evil.
Of course when powerful people snap the consequences for society can be terrible - this is why I believe in capping individual wealth. But I don’t know why it’s such a grievous offense to humanize the Darth Vaders of real life even the slightest bit. I think people are afraid not having a brutal hardline attitude about the bad guys is a sign of weakness - same old caveman shit as rednecks really.

Yeah, it reminds me of Kanye West.
It’s a bit different when someone with so much power “snaps” though.
