Is his recent behavior really that distasteful to some? He seems to be behaving fine to me, nothing out of the ordinary, he's just being a fun guy.
Back when spacex had three rockets explode in a row, not able to pay rent, failing marriage, he'd said he was closer to a breakdown than he thought possible... though he'd never give up.
He's later said car manufacturing turned out harder than spaceships.
So he mightn't give up, but give out. I'd rather keep our Elon.
