Elon was always problematic. His increasing social media use removed the natural filters that prevented people from seeing it.
I honestly think there's more going on here. It seems to be primarily the vain billionaires that are going off the deep end. I experimented with stimulants when I was young and I remember being shocked at how they changed my personality. I went from pretty stoic to wanting to fight people over the slightest perceived insult. I can't help but think these billionaires with their expensive implants, hair and skin treatments, blood boys, etc. are on some life-extending or performance enhancing stimulants that are affecting their state of mind.
problematic is a meaningless word, be more specific
I'm not defending Musk, but "problematic" used in this type of context is one of those words that says more about the speaker than it does the subject.
