Elon Musk’s biographer Seth Abramson has raised alarming concerns about the billionaire’s mental health. In a recent post on X, Abramson suggested that Musk may be experiencing severe mental distress and could be “going mad.”
I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad,” Abramson wrote. He pointed out the wider repercussions of Musk’s current mental state, given the immense influence he holds across various industries.
Abramson, a Harvard Law School graduate who has been tracking Musk’s online behavior for the last two years, highlighted Musk’s history of mental illness, drug use, and high stress. He warned that the billionaire’s “madness and increasing incitement of violence endanger us all.”
As the CEO of Tesla, the owner of X, and the richest person in the world, Musk’s roles give him significant sway over public opinion. Abramson argued that the urgency of addressing Musk’s mental health issues is compounded by his recent appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Musk’s mental health concerns raised
In his X thread, Abramson called for immediate action to protect the United States from the potential dangers posed by Musk. He suggested measures such as ending all U.S. contracts with him, filing lawsuits to block his DOGE initiative, and launching new federal investigations.
Despite these concerns, Abramson admitted that action against the billionaire was unlikely. Several people in the comments section agreed with his opinion, questioning Musk’s engagement with social media trolls rather than focusing on more constructive activities. The world’s richest man could be someone great – but instead, turns out to be a thin-skinned drug-addled Bond villain,” wrote one user.
Abramson’s harrowing insights come at a time when Musk’s influence continues to grow, making these concerns particularly pressing. The debate surrounding Musk’s mental state and its potential impact on his ventures and the public at large is likely to continue as more information comes to light.
