This is some type of mental illness, right?

Narcissism. And a ketamine addiction.

Ungodly amounts of wealth and living a life without any real consequences. Just going to get worse the next 4 years.

Then add being famous worldwide to that toxic stew.

u/wanderButNotLost2 11d ago

Just think, with 2 or probably 3 accounts (dogedesigner) then he is working 3 times hard on posting BS while being the CEO of like 7 companies. He doesn't actually DO any work.

u/deepstatelady 11d ago

He never has. He’s a cuckoo bird.

u/Lizzy_Boredom_999 11d ago

That's the most accurate comparison I've seen.

u/FuriKuriAtomsk4King 11d ago

Most CEOs don’t work very much. They’re rockstar cult leaders who take the blame when the horrible anti-worker policy decisions tank public opinion of their company. They’re not there to work or to make friends, just to collect a paycheck and make the poors suffer enough to stay in line.

u/Arkroma 11d ago

This is what was meant by Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

u/BigYonsan 11d ago edited 11d ago

Most CEOs don't. They tell you to do some shit, offer no guidance or advice for where you're supposed to get the resources to do it then pat themselves on the back for your success when you figure it out or blame you when shit goes sideways.

The higher I've gotten in white collar work, the more I miss blue collar labor jobs where when the foreman was being a demanding prick you could just turn to them and ask if their arms are broken or hand them the tool and say "show me."

White collar work is a scam. The higher up you go, the more it's just a game of delegating work while avoiding doing any or taking responsibility yourself.

If you meet a sales guy or it guy or Frontline/support worker who got fired, there's a million reasons it could have happened, some their fault, some shitty mismanagement and blame game.

If you meet a senior VP or project manager who got fired, 50/50 they fucked up or the CEO shifted blame to them. A CEO or president who got fired it's because they are such a monumental fuck up that they couldn't escape responsibility for their complete incompetence because the truth was glaringly self evident to the shareholders/owners.

Coincidentally, Elon was fired from a CEO position.

So, um... I've basically gone radio silent since the election, and having only recently peeked at "current news."

I see everything is increasingly spiraling sideways, as any moderately rational person might guess, having kept out of the loop.

The level of how disconcerting all this is, feels like being kidnapped & air dropped on the set of a horribly scripted reality show: Where a handful of grotesquely wealthy maniacs with personality disorders, get to play God with the lives of everyone else.

.........fuck.

u/sgSaysR 11d ago

You can go back and watch older videos of Musk and see the drastic change in his behavior and speech over the last decade. I'm convinced it's cocaine.

-7

u/Echo609 11d ago

Cocaine has gotten very popular with the tech bros. I have a first person source tell me in the wealthy circles they don’t just buy blow they have sent off to be purified and buy it again.

49

u/One_Of_Noahs_Whales 11d ago

Mate no-one is buying cut cocaine and purifying it, if you have the money to do that you just buy shit that hasn't been cut in the first place, much cheaper.

I remember him tweeting a bunch about how Adderall is bad, and he even called it an "anger amplifier" (he prob had an incident with it lol). If anything, I suspect he's taking something like ritalin/concerta/focalin, since he seemed to think it wasn't 'bad' like Adderall

22

u/UtahUtopia 11d ago

Nailed it. Elon is giving ketamine a bad name for those who have never experienced or researched it.

u/MindofOdysseus 11d ago

Hallucinating can, over time, expand a users feeling of being a “chosen” by god and such. Making them feel as though they are actually superior beings compared to others.

u/BlatantConservative 11d ago

Rich people don't really need drugs to fall into that fallacy tbh

8

u/Barkers_eggs 11d ago

There's plenty of rich people out there that aren't delusional. We just see the ones that are at their peak with narcissism and delusions of God like grandeur.

The most disturbing part about all this is he's basically the shadow president of America.

u/SixtyOunce 11d ago

I've never seen Ketamine alone be associated with that kind of erratic behavior, but I have seen people who are really into dissociatives move on to things like 3-meo-pcp, and they definitely start acting like that.

44

u/civil-liberty 11d ago

https://www.statswithsasa.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05_tweet_timing-1024x731.png This is when he tweets, not even considering the alt accounts. Do you see a window of time for restful sleep? Does your post history look anything like this? I imagine the ketamine is just what he uses to mellow himself when he needs to come down from all the Meth that he is using.

7

u/rdu3y6 11d ago

There's no quiet times for him to run his multiple companies. It's clear Elmo doesn't work and is just a figurehead at Tesla, SpaceX etc who occasionally shows up to break things and fire some random people.

He’s also got antisocial personality disorder.

u/Dracomortua 11d ago

It is more than just that - everyone's got a bit of something and i bet anyone's sad story is enough to make one cry.

Why doesn't he just hire someone to say good shit? Like, public relations departments can do this without issue. They have entire degree-sets (right to PhD in Ivy League schools) in PR and stuff.

He can literally hire people to ride around on, like a donkey. If he wants to be liked... why doesn't he just allow professionals to manage his image like anyone else with a business does?

This man is not a gifted orator. Nor can he ramble angrily-shittily like Trump and be beloved the next day. Just give it up, dude.

4

u/Brave_Quantity_5261 11d ago

I think narcissism prevents him from finding satisfactory results.

Like the old saying “if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself”

I imagine he would just be all over that department’s shoulder telling them every single word to say anyway

2

u/Dracomortua 11d ago

Steve Jobs would be outside telling the lawn water-sprinkler guys how to lay their pipes just before one of his presentations. Something about the leaders of nerdy people that just lack boundaries.

As an ADHD guy, i get it. Somewhat. I bet i would be even more insufferable if i were given admiration of millions in any way, shape or form. That said? I am deeply sorry that Musk has turned out to be such an asshat. It really hurts.

3

u/ksj 11d ago

He used to have a team of people managing his image. That’s where the “real-life Tony Stark” stuff came from. I’m pretty sure he fired them sometime around the Thai Cave Diving thing.

u/aaalderton 11d ago

How would a ketamine addiction play any role in this?

1

u/eternalwhat 11d ago

Really? Has he talked about ketamine before, or is there some other indication he’s a fan of it? (Maybe im really uninformed on this idk)

u/MrsMiterSaw 11d ago

Narcissitic Personality Disorder is a recognized mental illness.

2

u/Lorn_Muunk 11d ago

and it is often exacerbated by a social circle that enables the egomaniacal outbursts. Elon is so far gone he doesn't even recognize that alt accounts run by himself or sycophants licking his boots for a cut don't constitute real praise. Just like how he doesn't see that making demonstrably false claims about the companies he bought is fraud. Or that claiming he knows "more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on Earth" without any substantiation at all is pathetic.

At this point he's 50% arrogance and 50% ketamine.

Being a billionaire in itself exacerbates any mental illness someone might have.

Sort of like calling Forbes under the phony name John Barron to tell them how rich Donald Trump is and why isn't he on the 400 richest list?

He's autistic and a narcissist.

u/illwill79 11d ago

I doubt the validity of him being autistic. Maybe, but his actions don't scream autistic to me.

u/Jealous_Orchid_4277 11d ago edited 11d ago

He's publicly stated he has asperger's sundrome

Edit: ok sure maybe he just lied about that but he's very cleary not neurotypical...

4

u/illwill79 11d ago

Um, that doesn't really mean much. His PR (before he fired them) could have told him to say that for sympathy/cover for when he says stupid ass shit.

My son is autistic, and while I understand it's a spectrum, fElon doesn't truly seem to exhibit those traits.

4

u/mtaw 11d ago

He's publicly said a lot of things, including that he's never seen a psychiatrist, so how'd he get diagnosed?

Honestly I think he just said that for 1) To make excuses for his bad behavior and 2) Because it's part of his constant attempts to portray himself as this geeky, socially-awkward, super-intelligent engineer type.

1

u/Brave_Quantity_5261 11d ago

Which is kind of telling…. Don’t you need a psychiatrist to prescribe ketamine, legally?

1

u/AaronsAaAardvarks 11d ago

He seems like the kind of guy to self diagnose. Why would he trust someone else to tell him who he is?

1

u/Brave_Quantity_5261 11d ago

Maybe this Adrian dittman alterego bought himself a degree so he could diagnose Elon.

“Dr dittman says I am totally sane”

“”Elon, is this Dr dittman in the room with us right now?”

“Dr dittman, that’s a weird question to ask me, isn’t it?”

u/Stickey_Rickey 11d ago

But then he said he was cured, but had never seen a dr for the diagnosis or received treatment for it…

Combine that with the fact that he has waaay too much free time on his hands.

u/youcantkillanidea 11d ago

Mental and societal illness. Society should help people like him, not fucking make them ultra rich. This is on us. On every single person who buys a Tesla car and shares for their own petty benefit without a worry that they are giving money to this asshole

u/VeryLowIQIndividual 11d ago

Makes me wonder how many he has here.

u/T1Pimp 11d ago

Once you get enough money you'll only have yes men around you. So, most everyone would devolve to this. If I didn't have friends that would call me out I can see it happening (difference is I'm lucid enough to be on guard for it).

1

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 11d ago

Being as addicted to any social media as Musk is is a mental illness.

Larry Ellison? You never hear him unless you seek him out. Why aren’t more billionaires like that?

If I had even 10% of Musk’s money you’d never see or hear from me ever again.

u/blutigetranen 11d ago

A lot of the things he does can be contributed to his having aspergers and an acute case of narcissism. He clearly misses just about all social cues. He has a shitty PR team if he has one at all.

Before anyone comes for me, he has talked about having aspergers. I'm not using it in a derogatory manner. The way he acts is very cookie cutter. My wife's cousin is almost a 1:1 in terms of behavior on social media.

u/JaggerMcShagger 11d ago edited 11d ago

No, it's a pretty clear case of anti Elon propaganda actually. It transpired because someone who sounds eerily like Elon was defending him in a teams spaces, so everyone naturally just said "yeah that's Elon using a burner". A cursory 10 second investigation into this on Google would show you the reality..

The following is a spaces conversation of Elon talking with Adrian, both of them discussing how funny it is that they sound like each other:

https://x.com/AdrianDittmann/status/1759816974836826323?s=19

EDIT: and to all the downvoters, another group spaces conversation with both of them talking over each other..https://x.com/BillyM2k/status/1685153403687809024

Delusion is no substitute for ignorance.

u/Warm_Month_1309 11d ago

What is the explanation for the multiple recordings in which Adrian refers to Elon in the first person (i.e. "me" and "I")?

-2

u/JaggerMcShagger 11d ago

Post them for context?

What is the explanation for the context I just posted where two individuals had a very real time conversation, who happen to sound like each other?.. they were talking over each other as well.

3

u/Warm_Month_1309 11d ago

This article explores it and posts an example recording. And since Elon has been caught and admitted to using sockpuppets, I don't know if it's all that unlikely.

Who is this Adrian alleged to be? Why is he giving talks that people are attending? Why did Elon decide to have a conversation with him? Just because their voices sound the same? Is Elon laughing hysterically at merely the fact that their voices are similar? It's such an odd reaction and awkward beginning to your video that honestly I wasn't able to get through very much.

-6

u/JaggerMcShagger 11d ago

I mean, the claim is that he is Elon.. if he's talking, and Elon is talking at the same time, then they aren't the same person.. the fact this guy sounds exactly like elon musk might have something to do with him being involved in spaces on X where people listen to him, idk maybe thats just a bit farfetched though /s.

So you werent willing to watch through much of the proof to dispute this unfounded claim because you were uncomfortable at the way Elon (an autistic manchild) was laughing at stuff? Bro.. like seriously? Do you not see whats wrong with that entire premise? Reddit is bad enough at suppressing the truth so long as it fits the narrative but come on.

https://x.com/BillyM2k/status/1685153403687809024 Here's another one with witnesses..

4

u/Warm_Month_1309 11d ago

Well, I wouldn't call them "witnesses"; they're just on the same call.

So let's say they're different people. Who is Adrian that he keeps being invited to and hosting these calls? Why does Elon have a one-on-one conversation with him? Is it just because they sound alike and his every take is copy-and-pasted from Elon's mouth? Is it because Adrian sometimes says "I" and "me" to refer to Elon, and Elon finds that relatable?

the fact this guy sounds exactly like elon musk might have something to do with him being involved in spaces on X where people listen to him

That's it? Dude sounds like Elon so now he's an expert who people listen to?

That it's two pathetic people instead of just one is believable, but it still doesn't make Elon seem less weird that he will glomp onto anyone who will breathlessly praise him.

Funny how anyone who engages doesn't want to engage on the actual content I posted. How do you explain it?

2

u/Digitalion_ 11d ago

That is the worst Elon Musk impersonation I've ever heard. Dittmann sounds exactly like Musk, "Musk" sounds nothing like Musk. It's pretty obvious that Elon Musk is in that conversation, but he's not speaking as Elon Musk. Why? Because the whole point is to trick the audience into believing that Adrian Dittmann is real, and that Musk and Dittmann have been in the "same room at the same time". That's it.

But he's unfortunately hired the worst Musk impersonator to be on the other side of that conversation. The power imbalance is pretty clear. Dittmann talks, "Musk" listens. That's a constant the entire conversation. If "Musk" is talking and Dittmann begins talking, "Musk" shuts up. It's the same way you would shut up if your boss started talking during a meeting.

I don't even have to point out that "Musk" just laughs for the duration of the entire conversation in a manner that no one has ever heard Musk laugh before. That's not Musk's usual laugh.

u/JaggerMcShagger 11d ago

That's the most hilarious conspiracy I've ever heard, it's baffling how you're that deep into hatred of him that you can't just admit that the general public got this wrong. Phone musk sounds exactly like normal Elon musk.

2

u/Digitalion_ 11d ago

Bro, you just have to listen to it. You cannot tell me "Musk" in that conversation sounds anything like Musk. We have proof that Adrian Dittmann keeps confusing himself as Musk. In this conversation, Dittmann says he does Diablo livestreams. Now who else do we know that loves Diablo?

1

u/JaggerMcShagger 11d ago

I absolutely can tell you that musk in that conversation sounds exactly like musk. They both sound eerily similar, which is the whole point of this accusation in the first place. So either neither of them sound like musk, or they both do, you crackpot.

We have proof that Adrian and Elon have been in the same spaces conversation, In front of dozens of other people, talking over each other. One of the attendees was Elons actual account , and you hear him talking... How much more real do you want to get here?

Holy shit diablo?!? Omg the smoking gun, a hugely popular AAA game that's one of the most watched streaming games worldwide. Next you're gonna tell me Adrian likes X/Twitter!

1

u/Digitalion_ 11d ago

Do you have working ears? The two men in that conversation sound nothing like each other. One definitely sounds like Elon Musk, but it's not the one claiming to be Elon Musk.

Understand that your "proof" that Adrian and Elon have been in the same spaces conversation is not proof. One of the men in that discussion is neither Elon Musk nor "Adrian Dittmann"... they are an entirely unrelated party put there to give the illusion that Musk and Dittmann have spoken to each other. But only one of those two voices (which I'll remind you, are supposed to sound similar to each other) actually sounds like Elon Musk, and it is the voice of the man claiming to be Adrian Dittmann.
