But what specific behaviour? I went and looked at his last couple days of X posts before posting my second comment and I see a lot of things posted. I see lots of blunt language and opinions that "lefties" would not like but are not mental illness. They were said in a blunt format that hints at some autistic/ADHD traits, but almost certainly not enough for anywhere near an actual diagnosis. So tieing this all back around, saying things you don't like and/or in a way you don't like about issues you feel strongly on does not a mental illness make and I'm extremely tired of this trend to claim that. It's the kinder (so far), gentler (so far) version of othering so that one does not need to think of someone as a human being as one does horrible things to them that is pretty common throughout human history.



He self-sabotaged himself and employees of Twitter by telling advertisers to fuck themselves like a flustered thirteen year old. He has a very obvious personality disorder around rejection and not being seen as the smartest person in a room. He said he knew more about manufacturing than anyone in the world. He’s not just a megalomaniac, he’s unable to perceive reality. He lies over and over about his businesses and about his political ambitions. He is erratic, capricious, and vindictive. Something is clearly not right.
