"Protect America from Elon Musk": Elon Musk's 'Biographer' On His Mental Health
Biographer of tech giant Elon Musk, Seth Abramson, came forward with some big claims on the X owner regarding his mental health and decision-making ability. Abramson warns that Musk’s influence and actions could have dangerous implications for the United States. In a series of posts on X, Abramson alleged that Musk may be “going mad” and called for immediate government intervention. “Protect America from Elon Musk,” he wrote.
Abramson, who claims to have closely followed Musk’s behaviour for two years, cited the Tesla owner’s acknowledged struggles with mental health, drug use, and stress. “I’m a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years – and given that he’s admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell,” read his X post.

I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad. I’m a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he’s admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell.

Pointing at Musk’s prominent role in several critical sectors, including aerospace, electric vehicles, social media, and artificial intelligence, as well as his appointment as the incoming head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration, Abramson argued that Musk’s control over “civilisation-essential industries” and his position in the government transition team create an atmosphere that could jeopardise national stability.

“His holdings across many civilization-essential industries and the fact that he’s the incoming POTUS mean that his madness and increasing incitement of violence endanger us all,” Abramson claimed.
The biographer urged the Biden administration to take action during its final weeks in office, including terminating government contracts with Musk and filing lawsuits against what he described as unconstitutional initiatives under DOGE. “For 14 days more, the administration is in a position to take urgent action to protect America from Elon Musk,” Abramson wrote.
Recently, Elon Musk has been increasingly vocal on X, engaging in contentious debates and making polarising statements not only about the US but other countries as well. Recently, he criticised the UK government for rejecting calls for a public inquiry into a grooming scandal in Oldham and accused UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failing to prosecute perpetrators during his tenure as Director of Public Prosecutions. Musk described these incidents as a “massive crime against humanity.”

Abramson’s remarks sparked debate among X users. While some echoed his concerns, criticising Musk’s erratic behaviour, others defended the billionaire’s vision. One user described Musk as a “thin-skinned, drug-addled Bond villain,” while another speculated that Musk sees himself as a guardian of Western culture.
This is not the first time Musk’s mental health was a topic of discussion. Last year, reports emerged of Musk’s mental breakdown following his public booing at a Dave Chappelle show in San Francisco, shortly after he acquired Twitter for $44 billion.
