I think Donald Trump, given reports on how he acted in childhood legitimately suffers Narcissistic Personality Disorder, although some of his traits indicate histrionic instead, primarily in that he loves negative attention, not just praise.
Elon is harder to diagnose, only because it seems fairly clear that early successes gave way to delusions of grandeur he simply internalized as the wealthy often do, which those under him stoked, but being susceptible to such things makes me kind of agree with his self diagnosis of Bipolar, with narcissistic tendencies of course, not full on NPD since he hasn’t at least overtly always been that way, and you don’t develop a personality disorder later in life, it’s literally who you are at your core, not something you suffer like mood disorders.
The problem with having Bipolar I as an oligarch is that almost no matter how manic you get, its rare to find a subordinate willing to try to reason you back to earth.
DSM5 needs to add Petty Manchild Disorder as a recognized mental health issue so these people can get the help they deserve.

Muskrat is autistic, I wish he wasn’t he gives the rest of us a bad name.
Also he bought his “success.”
He isn’t autistic, he got the shit kicked out of him too much when he was young because he was so unlikable and he just hates the world now.
No, he’s white and affluent, so he has “Asperger’s” 🙄
No, he’s a white supremacist so of course he has (Nazi) aspergers
Has he been diagnosed as such, or is he just another Internet-Diagnosed Autist?
Self declared asperger’s.
So basically just an asshole who is undermining people with genuine issues so that he has an excuse to be an asshole.
Lovely.
He just gets better and better.
heh yeah maybe they’ll give him ketamine
er, wait
In my experience Ketamine only enhances the problems with PACS (Petty AdultChild Syndrome)
“Do you suffer from PACS? Ask your doctor if Ketamine is right for you!”
Eh, make it petty child. I’ve seen lots of women with the same behavioral issues
Make it Petty Adultchild Disorder.
Huh… I’ve always assumed that manchild was using “man” as human or mankind. Just looked it up and I was wrong.
