From what I understand, Musk was under investigation from multiple federal US agencies for malfeasance, I don't know for what, but he got involved to make those investigations go away. Then he got addicted to being in charge after buying The Presidency.

Because, as we all know, narcissists love being in charge, and adulation.

And why is he being an asshole, when he could be generous and beneficent, and get the adulation he craves? Because he thinks he's superior, and like he said, empathy is weakness, He is unable to understand, or feel empathy.

I'll give you a hint. It starts with "e" and rhymes with "Epstein didn't kill himself"...

Yeah, who's Eepstein? Apart from the offspring of a great felt scientist and some dead guy with fluffy hair.
