    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.

          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’)
