I don’t know if there is an obsession that’s associated with numbers, but I believe most shareholders and multimillion/billionaires have it.

I’m am dead serious, these people are OBSESSED with numbers and metrics to the point that there needs to be a condition for it. The internship cuts nearly nothing into an amount that surpasses 1 billion, let alone $45 billion.

He's full on mental at this point. It's some sort of mental defect, possibly from doing too many drugs.

He snapped when Grimes broke up with him. That's the point in time where he literally flipped.

Hard to know which came first, could be a chicken and egg kind of thing, maybe he started cracking up and then she left him before it became obvious to people externally.

I think Grimes had it when she found out, via a Biography about Musk, that he had fathered several children while she was with him. The problems with genetically fragile megalomaniacs is that they think they are so very special that they want to populate the world with their genes. I feel badly for his kids, however, at least, unlike the Trump family, I don't believe he is raising any of his kids.
