I’ve been saying this for a while now. If he were an average person, a loved one or friend would have probably tried to get him help, if not voluntarily, then as an intervention. He’s a billionaire, and has clearly been unwell for a while, but the world just keeps egging him on to do more crazy shit.
It reminds me a little of the South Park pop star thing, where the world needs a “sacrifice” in terms of fame. We’ve now moved past pop, and now we’re letting influencers (which, let’s be frank, that’s basically Musk’s contribution to any of his businesses) dance for our enjoyment.
In theory, I think bad people deserve pity more than anything else, because something made them that way, and we don’t get to choose our formative experiences. We are fundamentally still just animals responding to our environment.
But in practice, I have a finite amount of empathy, so I’ll save it for people who aren’t actively making the world a worse place.
“I fucking hate you and wish you’d get hit by a bus”
Five minutes later: “Please don’t leave babe… I love you…”
Dude is not well.
Yeah I just watched the clip and he seems legitimately unhinged. “Earth will judge them.”

“Tell that to earth!” Spæce Kæren
