Sadly. I have to agree about Musk. It pains me greatly, too. His going balls deep in AI and crypto are good examples, too.

Actually, I understand it all too well. There are good parts and bad parts to his style. I see it all over the place here in Silicon Valley. He's not the only one. In fact, if Steve Jobs were alive today, he'd probably be very similar. The truth is that Musk became damaged goods during the pandemic. That explains how he created a lot of successful companies like Tesla, SpaceX, etc., but it also explains his Twitter obsession and his most recent ketamine-fueled insanity. There is no evidence there is anything ketamine fueled. That's absurd. As he is with most things about his private life, he has made clear he has been prescribed Ketamine for treating depression. Under his physician's care. It isn't "fuel". Ketamine, for those cases where it works, can provide quick relief for depression. The idea is to get the brain chemistry how it needs to be, and sorting that out is difficult. If he has found something that works, more power to him. It is a truly bad direction to start trying to diagnose people without command of the facts. And without being a physician of some kind. I'd be the last person to bash someone about using LSD, Mescaline, or I guess, Ketamine. These are personal decisions. >> The truth is that Musk became damaged goods during the pandemic. That's lunacy if you believe that. He was one of the few voices of reason during that time. I'm not trying to justify Musk's existence but the truth is he is by a large margin the most creative and successful CEO/manager/visionary on the planet today. You can criticize the guy but I don't see ANYONE outperforming him in any competing space.
