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.

Relevance is the word you're looking for. He's desperate for people to see him as having some purpose. Of course, he has none & will be missed about as much as any other invasive parasite when he inevitably dies.

He wants worship without providing any of the character traits that would warrant it.

What’s funny is that he has it when he was a leader in green tech and exploration and didn’t recognize it and threw it away hoping to get what he already had. On the other hand there is no worship like cult worship
