  This guy is very good at articulating big things in a short burst.

  Of course his father declined to talk about his own abusive behaviors and then spoke out to defend Elon for his… he wasn’t defending his Son, he was defending himself. <br><br>We all get our monsters from somewhere…

  When you’re poor you have personality disorder, when you’re rich you have demon mode 🤦🏻‍♂️

  If by success Errol meant financial/entrepreneurial success…. He is a great father. Some people’s measure success &nbsp;by very different criteria. How about inner peace or not suffering all the time. I think Elon himself says in interviews he doesn’t see himself as a success, that it’s not pleasant/fun being him - not only because of responsibilities and power but because he is an emotional captive of trauma: restless, propelled to tirelessly accomplish in order to appease suffering… even enjoyment is a challenge.

  When they showed a picture of the father at the end, the first person I thought of was Christopher Walken. &nbsp;And perhaps the resemblance in more ways than one.

  We human has a tendency that when somebody become so successful in one area of their life, all the sudden this person automatically become some kind of “ god”, whatever he behaves and said about other areas of opinions all seems very valuable and as some golden wisdom. Elon has no doubt very very distinctive in his career, but his personality has huge problems, anyone likes drama and chaos means this person is not emotional grounded and mature, is not healthy and well. Because of his emotionally not well, now I actually having doubts on what he does, where he is going to really land for the humanity. He can’t love, he doesn’t really know what real love is, so how a person like this can bring humanity to a real better place?!
