It is impossible for someone to have his level of wealth, his lifestyle, and not begin to exhibit signs of mental illness. First, the wealth. Nothing has value to him. Why would it? Very few things have carry a dollar amount he can’t swallow. Seriously, we’re talking like aircraft carriers!

Second, look at the other triple-digit billionaires. They’re focused on what they do. Bezos runs Amazon and all the stuff it does. Schmuck runs Meta and all that. Thiel is pretty focused on Palatir. Meanwhile Musk “runs” how many companies? And people legit believe that he’s actually running them. Professional journalists will say he’s a super genius while reporting on the absolute bat-shit stuff he does and says. Oh, and don’t get me started on all the times he’s publicly bragged working his employees to the bone as if that’s a sign of good leadership! All of this is to say, he’s believing his own press.

Currently. That will change. He tried the first time round, and I suspect he will have better luck this time around.

Yeah me too. It goes back to your threat level. How likely is it that someone is going to break into my home to steal my desktop all James Bond-like? The answer is, “not very.” Anything mobile has a significantly higher probability of falling into the wrong hands. These things are encrypted. Even the very old laptop that never leaves my house is encrypted because it could.
