Elon Musk 'May Be Insane' - Biographer Claims

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has emerged as a close ally of Donald Trump, may be "insane" due to mental health issues, drug use, and stress. This claim was made by Seth Abramson, a self-proclaimed biographer of Musk.
Abramson, who has previously written books on Trump and supported controversial conspiracy theories, stated on Monday via the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that "there are legitimate grounds to believe that Elon Musk may be insane."
He wrote, "I am Musk's biographer and have been closely observing his online behavior for the past two years. Musk himself has admitted to struggling with mental illness, excessive drug use, and crippling stress. It is now reasonable to assume that he is very unwell."
Abramson pointed to Musk's tweets, responses, misleading screenshots, support for anonymous trolls, white supremacists, and fake data as evidence. "Any impartial observer who analyzes these actions will conclude that Musk is mentally unstable. This is publicly evident," he claimed.
The Trump-Musk Alliance
Abramson referred to Musk as "America's potential co-president" and alleged that Musk intends to be more influential in the Trump administration than Trump himself. He also claimed that Trump has appointed Musk as the head of DOGE, a special advisory body tasked with identifying inefficiencies in the U.S. government.
He urged the U.S. government to take swift action against Musk, warning that "his growing madness and tendency to incite violence pose a threat to society."
Musk's Social Media Activity
In recent days, Musk has become increasingly active on his platform X. He has publicly criticized the German chancellor and the British government. According to the website X Tracker, Musk has posted over 60 times per day in the past week, with a record 135 posts on Monday.
On Wednesday, Musk referred to Canada's outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a "girl" for rejecting the idea of a merger between the U.S. and Canada—a concept promoted by Trump.
Conclusion
While Seth Abramson has made serious allegations about Musk's mental health, he has not provided concrete evidence to support his claims. Nevertheless, Musk's heightened social media activity and controversial statements continue to keep him in the spotlight.
