Biographer Claims Elon Musk “Going Mad,” Urges Biden for Action
Manas Dasgupta
NEW DELHI, Jan 10: A biographer of one of the richest man in the world Elon Musk has expressed concern over the mental health of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO doubting his decision-making capacity and has urged the outgoing president Joe Biden to take action in his final week in the office to protect the United States from Musk who is drafted in the coming Donald Trump cabinet.
Seth Abramson, a biographer of Musk, has made some big claims about the mental health and decision-making of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, warning that his influence and actions could have dangerous implications for the United States. In a series of posts on X, the platform owned by Musk, Abramson alleged that Musk may be “going mad” and called for immediate government intervention.
Abramson who claims to have closely followed Musk’s behaviour for two years, cited the billionaire’s acknowledged struggles with mental health, drug use, and stress. He alleged that Elon Musk was “going mad” and that the Tesla boss. He wrote, “I’m a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behaviour for the last two years – and given that he’s admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell. Protect America from Elon Musk.”
Reflecting on Elon Musk’s role in sectors like aerospace, electric vehicles, social media and artificial intelligence, as well as his appointment as the incoming head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Donald Trump administration, Seth Abramson argued that Elon Musk’s control over “civilization-essential industries” may create a situation that could harm national stability.
“His holdings across many civilization-essential industries and the fact that he’s the incoming POTUS mean that his madness and increasing incitement of violence endanger us all,” Abramson claimed.
Abramson urged the current administration to take action during its final weeks in office, including terminating government contracts with Musk, filing lawsuits against what he described as unconstitutional initiatives under DOGE. “For 14 days more, the administration is in a position to take urgent action to protect America from Elon Musk,” Abramson wrote.
Musk has been increasingly vocal on X, engaging in contentious debates and making polarising statements. Recently, he criticised the UK government for rejecting calls for a public inquiry into a grooming scandal in Oldham and accused UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to prosecute perpetrators during his tenure as Director of Public Prosecutions. Musk described these incidents as a “massive crime against humanity.”
Musk has also expressed support for Tommy Robinson, founder of the far-right English Defence League, who is serving an 18-month jail term for contempt of court. Abramson’s warnings have sparked debate among X users. While some echoed his concerns, criticising Musk’s erratic behaviour, others defended the billionaire’s vision. One user described Musk as a “thin-skinned, drug-addled Bond villain,” while another speculated that Musk sees himself as a guardian of Western culture.
Musk’s mental health has been a subject of speculation in the past. Reports emerged last year of a mental breakdown following his public booing at a Dave Chappelle show in San Francisco, shortly after he acquired Twitter for $44 billion.
