Elon Musk is 'going mad' warns biographer who says billionaire is 'deeply unwell'
Elon Musk's biographer Seth Abramson believes the billionare is "going mad" as he manages Tesla, X, and SpaceX, while also being part of Donald Trump's transition team
Elon Musk's biographer has warned the billionaire is "going mad" and could "endanger us all" as concerns grow over his wellbeing.
The owner of X has been writing unhinged comments and reacting to posts on his platform, including criticising the UK government after it rejected a call for a public inquiry into the grooming scandal in the Oldham.
Musk has also targeted Keir Starmer, who he falsely claimed had failed to bring what many term “rape gangs” to justice when he was the director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013. The scandals, Musk said Friday, represent a “massive crime against humanity.”
He has also recently expressed his support for Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - the founder of the far-right English Defense League, who is serving an 18-month jail term for contempt of court.
And now Musk's biographer Seth Abramson believes the billionare maybe "going mad" as he manages Tesla, X, SpaceX while being part of Donald Trump's transition team.
"I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad. I'm a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he's admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell," he wrote on Tuesday.
The biographer believes Musk, not Trump, will attempt to run the US administration. Mr Abrahamson added: "His private struggles would not be of general concern except they have dramatic public consequences. His holdings across many civilization-essential industries and the fact that he's the incoming POTUS mean that his madness and increasing incitement of violence endanger us all."

It comes as reports last year suggested Musk suffered a mental breakdown after facing angry boos at Dave Chappelle's San Franciso show in December 2022. The comic brought him on stage just two months after Musk purchased Twitter for $44billion when he was filmed being booed by a large part of the 18,000 audience.
According to author Ben Mezrich, who covered Musk's acquisition of Twitter in his book "Breaking Twitter, the billionaire locked himself in his office following the incident.
“He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset that the Twitter employees were considering calling a wellness check by the San Francisco police because they thought he was going to self-harm himself,” Mezrich tikd CNBC. “I think he truly cares about his reputation, and he was shocked,” he added.
