mental health of Elon Musk It is a matter of concern for many of his followers and part of the community that has not yet left Twitter. All due to the peculiar behavior that he has shown lately within the social network.
It is a fact that the formerly richest man in the world has not had an easy few months. Losing insane amounts of money in record time and resigning from his position as CEO of the platform originally founded by Jack Dorsey.
In recent days, after handing over command to Linda Yaccarino, Musk once again became the focus of controversy after posting a series of tweets on his official account promoting conspiracy theories about a mass shooting in Texas, was accused of anti-Semitism after claiming that George Soros “hates humanity” and retweeted debunked theories on crime and race.
In any other scenario, Elon’s account would at least have been suspended due to the accumulation of reports and complaints, but as he owns the social network, nothing happened.
That did not, however, prevent the stock market from reacting, leading him to generate quite a few losses in his stock portfolio and the value of his already affected wealth.
Elon Musk speaks and gives an interview where he defends his right to say what he wants
Faced with such a scenario, as it would be obvious to expect, it was essential that Elon Musk go public beyond his Twitter account to defend himself against what is happening to him.
So the tycoon ended up giving an interview to the TV network CNBCwhere the subject displayed somewhat erratic and disturbing behavior, especially when the topic of recent posts was brought up.
The climax, however, came when, after an extremely long and awkward pause, Musk finished by referencing a scene from the 1987 film The Princess Bride, in which Mandy Patinkin’s character, Íñigo Montoya, confronts the man. who killed his father
“He says, ‘Offer me money. Offer me power. I don’t mind.’ You want to share what you have to say.
I’ll say what I have to say, and if the consequences of that are losing money, then so be it.”
We are not sure that this damage control move was the most correct for the particular situation that Elon Musk is going through.
But it is a fact that citing this film and how it connected everything to justify itself will give more elements for discussion and questioning.
