1. Like Putin, musk is getting more paranoid and isolated.

7. It is interesting to wonder how this might play out

I don't believe Elon Musk's coping mechanisms are nearly as good as Putin's, or those of other strongmen whose rise is slower, built over time, and who come in with "networks" already in place.

11. Yes but musk is using putin's network and power base.

And military intelligence, etc.

But musk is mentally ill and a drug addict.
With poor judgement and impulsivity.

He may burn out fast.

But he will be replaced.

2. Is he going to turn into a Howard Hughes?

3. Do they protect against paranoia?

The power's going to his head.

8. Right. We're not "just" talking about someone whose paranoia

is escalating, but who has a history of serious depression and (alleged) drug abuse, who wants to put all his former wives and children in a compound.

I'm waiting for a psychotherapist to rescue us and tell us what the fuck we're dealing with here.

12. He also likes to carry his toddler on his shoulders or against his chest

His own little human shield

[defacto7]

13. Like you said ...

No self-respecting dictator can be without a large highly paid praetorian guard.

And we know how that turned out. (Wishful thinking)

14. This is called Admiration Journalism, and we're about to see a lot more of it

Would be nice to deny it spread and clicks.
