This seems so totally out of character for Elon that I can only assume he is drugged or mentally ill. Maybe he's Ambien tweeting. If he's still in southeast asia, that would make sense (as he'd be tweeting around midnight local time).



This is exactly Musk's behavior. He does shit like this on Twitter all the time.


How is this out of character? He's constantly insulting people on Twitter.

Honestly, I'm surprised this one blew up more than the time he called a guy from South Africa a 'chimp'.


I follow Musk on Twitter and I've never seen behavior like today. Yes, he sometimes insults people, but there's a huge difference between offhand insults and sticking to your guns accusing a rescue diver of being a pedophile.[1] It's utterly bizarre.
