I know Must talks about being bullied at school. I'm sure that contributes.

An inferiority complex, for one.

You know, he should be able to afford a lot of therapy by very skilled and talented therapists.

That would require him to admit he has a problem that need to be worked on, i doubt he will ever do that..
He likely do the exact opposite, pay people to tell him everyone else but him is the problem..

To the odd behavior such as in "Musk, Sacks', and Thiel's anger and political weirdness."

The story about being bullied, the way Musk tell is, is very incomplete.

There is a missing link that shows the post-Apartheid behaviour - Paul Calder Le Roux.
https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/article/satoshi-files-paul...
It is all their when you include him: the unstable personal identity. The contempt for average South African (British or Afrikaaner) while being a minority white. The Sovereign Individualism. The use of the Internet to pioneer new firlds of commerce (telemedicine). The contempt for women. The attempts breed Ubermenschen. And of course, the utter contempt for Rule of Law.
We can also explain much of their behaviour when we look at his life story.

The Guardian just did a story along these lines: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/26/elon-musk...
Unlike a lot of White South Africans he's English, and they were viewed as outsiders by a number of Afrikaners. Same with with David Sacks being Jewish South African and Peter Thiel being the kid of German expats in ZA.
On the other hand, Roelof Botha tends to remain outside the political limelight despite being from Afrikaner political royalty (his granddad was the Foreign Minister towards the end of Apartheid).
Maybe Musk, Sacks', and Thiel's anger and political weirdness is because they felt like the perpetual outsider no matter where they were.
Musk, Sacks, Thiel, and Botha all must have been 2nd or 3rd degree connects well before the PayPal mafia even started because their parents were all at the top of the social and economic strata among White South Africans (same handful of private schools, country clubs, etc)
