I don’t think he is a fascist nazi either. But I do think he is happy to support them as long as they make him feel special, and that’s bad enough.

The man is deeply unwell and desperate for approval and accolades. From anyone.

I think we can agree that Musk is strongly motivated. He works insanely hard and takes huge personal risks with his fortune.

He says why he does it - over and over - to save humanity by spreading it out into space.

> desperate for approval and accolades. From anyone.

If true, it is rather common behavior, not deeply unwell. Politicians 100% fall into that category. So do movie stars. So does every Olympic athlete. So what.
