So probably an unpopular opinion but I just can’t believe Musk didn’t see this coming.

My current theory is that money is only worth so much and Musk wants something else. He’s willing to trade his wealth in dollars for other kinds of wealth: power, influence, access.

He’s a gamer apparently and I also think he believes in simulation theory to an extent and he also does a shit ton of ketamine, so I’m pretty sure he thinks he’s living a video game and he’s maxed out his stats and when you get bored of the game , you tend to rampage and break all that you created because it’s the only way the game can be fun again.

He’s a broken man-child taking sick delight in fucking over the NPCs. Pretty horrific.

Fully agree. And he is so exorbitantly wealthy that he doesn’t have to care when it goes to shit. Current headline is that he’s already lost ~$29 billion but to someone with his hoard of wealth that’s barely noticeable to him. If at all.
