I have to agree with you on all counts.

When I first heard that he did 100 hour weeks voluntarily, I was envious of his ability to put that many hours in. I’ve done that once and… vowed never again.

Now I am of the opinion that it broke him and he was unaware of it, and that all of his goals will be better met if he halves his work week.

Having worked +100 hour weeks for years at a time in the past, i found that it has an insidious effect on your judgement. You think you are ok, but you slowly start to drift out of alignment with reality. Looking at Elon from a distance he appears to be acting the same, functional but with impaired judgement.
