Internet Psychiatric Diagnosis (IPD) is to be avoided on HN.

Mental health professionals already have a culture of not engaging in speculative diagnosis from afar, ought we not exercise even further restraint before engaging in clinical terminology?
And are you even claiming personal access to Elon Musk?

> Mental health professionals
That's the operative bit. Lay people on HN speculate all the time about pretty much everything that graces the front page.

What about that diagnosis makes sense for Elon? I am curious.
It would be difficult to separate the diagnosis criteria from what is reasonable for Elon to do when running a money burning company.
His marketing efforts to build a dedicated fanbase seems prudent for Tesla and spaceX. Differentiating excess grandiosity and claims of high status from his business life is difficult. His life is grand and he does have a high status, npd or not.
