I have a friend that went of rails (schizophrenia) a couple of years back. One day he threw out all his light bulbs because they were listening devices for "the others". Or deleted all the files on his computer that contained the letter X, because it is "the unknown". Paranoia was a LARGE part of his life, in every decision he took.

My friend was experiencing a lot of stress in his life at the time, which the doctors says most likely induced the schizophrenia.

It looked a lot like what is happening with Musk now.




Musk is decades older than the typical onset age of schizophrenia


My friend is 42 and got it at 39 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
