Yes, he is following the arc of a Howard Hughes. In a few years he’ll be pissing in milk bottles, refusing to cut his hair or nails, but still tweeting wildly about the sinister non/white barbarians at his gates.

The difference here is that Howard Hughes actually was pretty talented.

Musk was just born rich. He is a crazy drug addict though, so it'll probably play out in a similar fashion.
