Could this be why Elon is choosing to step back a bit before his 130 deadline?

Elon Musk 'being driven visibly insane' by anti-Tesla protests​

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has publicly raged in recent weeks about the protests being lodged against his flagship electric car company, and Mother Jones writer Timothy Murphy believes that the demonstrations have been successful beyond their organizers' wildest dreams.

Murphy in particular points to a recent rant from Musk demanding that billionaires whom he baselessly suspects of funding the protests to be arrested.

"This is a bit authoritarian, yes, but just as importantly it is pathetic," Murphy contends. "Suggesting that George Soros and the founder of LinkedIn should be arrested after an old lady shouted at a car is one of the softest moments in recent American history. This is not the gesture of a man who is impervious to protests. It is the response of an oligarch who is being driven visibly insane by them."

He also thinks that Democrats need to start using Musk's angry ravings about the protests against him.

"Musk’s spiraling is an asset," he writes. "He is both deeply unpopular and out of control; his response to opposition is to descend deeper into the paranoia that got him there."

He didn’t have far to go.

Agreed. It was a short trip on a quarter charge in a Tesla truck. Speaking of which, his truck bombing, in more ways than one, has got to be rattling his cage too.

Elon Musk’s Epic Cybertruck Fail

Elon Musk’s polygonal pickup is a polarizing sales flop that's missed the billionaire’s volume goal by a staggering 84%. And there’s no sign that things are improving.

Elon Musk is a product of the authoritarian white supremacist South African apartheid regime of the 1970s and 1980s. That is his formative life experience.

You can take Musk out of the authoritarian country, but you can't take the authoritarian out of Musk.

LOL. He used to be the darling of innovation and the future but by hooking up with Trump, he's shown his ugly side.

The protests aren't only in the US. Tesla is trying to dump Musk since hatred for him is tanking the company. The cybertruck idea was also probably ramrodded through by Musk. Another reason for Tesla to bump him.

His rockets, his trucks! He needs to refocus on his flailing businesses.

It seems with great wealth comes great ego. They begin to think that if they think it, it is right, Trump has the same problem. Their advisers are ignored because they think nobody is as smart as they are. Trump has said that nobody knows as much as he does about....many subjects. There is a long list. It should have chased people away from him, but it did not.
So what does Elon know about all the government bureaus? Close to nothing, but he thinks he is so smart, that he will just cripple the bureaus and slash the staffs, and it will all work out, because he is doing it.
We are in trouble.

At this rate, wherever he goes, he'll become a pariah. I feel bad for his kids who have to grow up with people hating their father.

His kids even hate him, so they’ll get support.

It may come from the isolation. The uber-rich isolate themselves from "commoners". Partly due to security, partly by choice. When Micheal Jackson died from drugs, people asked "Why didn't his friends help him?" The answer was because anyone who disagreed with him quickly found themselves outside the gates of Neverland. Trump is the same way; he has his circle of sycophants and anyone who disagrees is outside that circle. I have no doubt Musk is the same way. It's a form of confirmation bias, IMO. Eventually they all start believing their own shit.
