I've drawing the Howard Hughs compression also, I don't think Elon has the same same condition but they're both crazy as hell. It feels like every day this week there has been some new controversial / insane policy change at twitter that contradicts his stance on free speech. I mean claiming to be a frees peach absolutist and then publicly banning journalist is seriously insane.

I feel like it's very possible Elon's in the middle of an episode and we're all just getting to witness it publicly while he's hyper focused on making twitter on making twitter more profitable,

My other theory is he's completely sane and just using all this media coverage as free marketing to drive up the twitters web traffic. Time will tell but now I'm leaning towards Elon being a Howard Hughes crazy genius.
