People with bipolar disorder aren't capable of making rational decisions?

And Elon is just a completely normal guy?

In the midst of an uncontrolled manic episode? Often they are not.

So who should be held responsible for their decision then? Who gets to decide?

People are mostly talking about this as a moral failure, not as some kind of legal issue.

If they commit a crime, a judge and/or jury, informed by the testimony of medical experts, determines whether someone was cognizant of right and wrong. This is not uncommon in the criminal justice system.

Now, responsibility on the larger scale is indeed murky. We societally at once say addicts are and aren't responsible for their behavior (depending upon one's point of view and what acts took place): a drunk driver is treated differently than a homeless addict living under a bridge. Is Kanye 'addicted' to manic states? Should we look down upon him because he won't take his meds? I'm not sure.

Not that it makes it better, but Elon also said he suffered from bipolar disorder.

He's also claimed that he has Asperger's, without any evidence.

Not having access to their psych records, I think all we have to go on is what they claim.

nobody owes the public their medical records for 'evidence'.
