What does Elon Musk want?

[haele]

14. He wants...he probably doesn't really know...

To do whatever he wants for fun without regulation.
To be loved and respected (his mom is a self-centered piece of work in public, and apparently his dad is, too, so I can be pretty sure he was ignored or encouraged to be a right selfish, competitive bastard growing up).

He doesn't seem to think much past his immediate interests. Not an introspective person, clever rather than wise. Nor is he very emotionally smart, despite some pretty enthusiastic marketing skills.

The only difference between him and a typical somewhat skilled collage-aged Nerd is that he now has Billions to indulge his whims and poutrage and - it's gone to his head.

I'd feel a smidge of pity for him if he wasn't so dangerous - it's like giving a 13-year old unlimited money with full adult rights and responsibilities -without any supervision or restraints.
