I don’t think I want to let him off the hook with a metal disorder.

I won’t accept that he’s a sociopath until there’s an official diagnosis. Sociopaths deserve empathy and need treatment. Musk is just a reprehensible asshole.

(By the way @Hyperreality, I’m not arguing with you. I’m taking the word “sociopath” more literally than you intended. I know what you mean, and agree.)

Even a sociopath needs to want the treatment for it to work

"Metal disorder" sounds like a decent band name.
