A biographer on the social media site owned by Elon Musk, X (previously known as Twitter), has raised grave concerns over the mental state of the tech mogul, suggesting that his current state may lead to a wide-reaching impact. Abramson claims that he has been observing the billionaire entrepreneur's behaviour closely for the past two years and that the entrepreneur is "going mad" and requires urgent intervention to prevent any harm in the future.
For the unversed, this is the second time the biographer has quoted Elon, but this time the words echo what Musk has said himself about past mental health difficulties, including his stress and related substance abuse. Writer Abramson who has followed all of Musk's actions and online output year after year, says that with Musk's own acknowledgements of huge levels of stress, mental illness, and past substance abuse, it is becoming increasingly worrying that these elements may now be driving his overall choices.

"I have been watching Musk's behaviour for two years now. Considering he has publicly discussed his battles with mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is no longer a stretch to suggest that he might be in a deeply unwell state. The situation has escalated to the point where action must be taken to protect the country,” Abramson wrote in his post on X.
The billionaire's mental health has been in the spotlight for years, and reports from last year revealed an alleged breakdown. However, Abramson's latest comments imply a more critical concern that Musk's actions are not only caused by personal battles but also possibly impacting his leadership on a much bigger scale. With Musk being the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, his decisions would affect global markets, the future of space exploration, and industries in many different areas.
Since public figures are normally in the headlines, Abramson's words were more pointed for someone like Musk who has influence. The demand from the biographer for a governmental intervention says that his deterioration of mental health and suffering would imply a consequence for Musk himself as well as a significant system and a series of people he leads. Whether his words spark wider conversation or elicit action only time will tell, but certainly Abramson's plea has led to the asking of questions on the mental and emotional soundness of one of the world's most influential leaders in technology.
