    What is wrong with him? I think he legit needs psychiatric help.

    He is a Narcissist. Yes, that is a medical condition. He is thoroughly unable to recognize other people as equal. They are mere nuisances.

        No, it makes no difference. The disability is in him. Their power or any other of their features cannot change it.

          I thought “narcissist” was legitimately confused with “sociopath” in this thread for a second.

          After looking over the definitions again for the distinctions, my immediate thought was “why not both?”

              It’s also in the DSM, but there’s probably ranges of both and I don’t think either one precludes or excludes the other. Narcissism also shares a lot of symptoms with bipolar disorder, which the recent interviews with the biographer Walter Isaacson about Musk seems pretty clearly to be a problem. (See ‘demon mode’)
