He probably always was a bit of a right-wing loon, but everything about him over the last few years screams "cry for help".
If he were a normal pleb, he'd have probably lost his job, or had a friend tell him that he needs to seek professional help. Because he's a billionaire, I assume people just say he's "eccentric" and laugh while people push him to do more crazy shit.
He doesn't realise it, but people are laughing at him, not with him. He's a performing monkey for the apathetic, and aspirational for the morally questionable.
I think he has an inkling of that now. Since he got booed off stage multiple times and locked himself in isolation for a while.
It was always there. He just has the wealth not to care what anyone thinks now.
I don't think any amount of money replaces human interaction, and because of his status, his perception of himself is probably so fucked up that I'd be shocked if he did anything but care.
I don't want to infantise Musk, nor do I want to excuse what a total cunt he is, but if he were a child you'd basically call it a cry for attention or help. The primary difference between us and him is he can mask whatever mental health issues he's got with money and social media...
He has the wealth, but not the ego.
