London: Elon Musk’s mental health has been the topic of much discussion recently after he posted a number of provocative statements on social media. In fact, even his biographer, Seth Abramson, has expressed serious doubts about the state of the billionaire’s mind.
Abramson’s observations of Musk’s social media over the last two years led him to assert that the Tesla CEO might be “going mad.” Wrote on X in his posts, “I really think Elon Musk may be going mad. Considering that he has acknowledged his mental illness, heavy drug use, and overwhelming stress, it is now fair to worry deeply about his health.”
The biographer’s worries arise out of Musk’s recent odd behaviour, especially on social media. For example, he talked about the UK government, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Besides being in the middle of a political storm in the UK, Musk accused Starmer of not being able to appropriately address child grooming gang cases that occurred during his time as the director of Public Prosecutions from 2008 to 2013.
In light of the fact that Musk mistakenly thinks he has damages, he, in the opinion of Abramson, can be a great risk to the technological and ecological environmental issues. He said, “That being the future POTUS and owning stocks in virtually every civilisation-critical industry, his madness, and pushing violence higher puts us all in danger.”.
The biographer asked the US government to act fast, saying that the best way to do that would be to hamper all the contracts with Musk and his appointment in no government position. “For the next 14 days the government has the opportunity to protect America from Elon Musk through taking urgent action,” said Abramson.
Musk’s recent actions have not only raised doubts about his mental health but also have caused a bit of a diplomatic dispute. He held an online poll to see if America should “free the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.” This became a cause for the outspoken Starmer, who accused the spread of “lies and misinformation” in public.
Now as the debate goes on, it is not clear if the street is left anymore, the possible effects of Musk’s conduct on international relations, and the future role of the man in the Trump administration.
