There’s little doubt Musk is a narcissist and a sociopath, but his ramped up use of NPC makes me suspect he’s a solipsist, too. He’s the protagonist in a world where others are simply programmed responses, not thinking, feeling individuals. This fits neatly with his belief that our universe is a computer simulation. Musk happens to be the only character in the game with a mind. And since he’s got the high score, who can argue?
Musk is rapidly becoming an intellectual dinosaur
