Your take is radically empathetic, and we have seen (e.g. with Tony Hsieh) how it all unraveled.

I wonder if Shitter is a big factor in this spiral. Jaron Lanier pointed this out in Nov 2022 [1].

Unfortunately, if so, we have a worst-case scenario of "getting high on your own supply", and nobody can cut him off (or stage an "intervention").

He's been posting on Twitter obsessively for years now, it's definitely one of his worst addictions. He blew $44 billion to satisfy his cravings, which has to be a record spend on an addiction.

But he's also addicted to drugs, work, gaming and who knows what else.

He will either shake his demons or die early after having destroyed his life and probably many other people's lives. I wish him well for everyone's sake.
