I remember something like almost 20 years ago, reading an interview article with him after his first wife? girlfriend? dumped him. I think it was in Rolling Stone. Anyway, the dude was nowhere near as (in)famous as he's become. And basically the interviewer wrote that Musk seems to want to be loved, but also seems incapable of being lovable. Or something along those lines.
I'm sure part of it has to do with shitty parenting. I mean, just look at his dad. Same thing with Trump too. For such emotional and psychological damage, I can at least pity both of them. It is sad that impressionable young children in need of love and security don't receive that from the most important people in their lives. But my pity ends when they take their daddy issues out on literally everyone else around them rather than go to therapy.
