Elon Musk’s biographer has made a shocking claim about the billionaire that could have ‘enormous consequences’.
The journalist who has written a biography on the tech mogul has claimed that he is ‘going mad’.
He also warned that it’ll be Musk, instead of Donald Trump, who will be running the show in the White House as the Trump administration makes its return to power.

Author Seth Abramson took to Musk’s own social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to share his concerns.
He said: “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.”
Abramson went on to say: “His private struggles would not be of general concern except they have dramatic public consequences.

“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.”
He continued: “If no action is taken - and I suspect no action will be taken - what this man in his burgeoning madness does to America as POTUS in the coming years will be on the heads of not just him and those who support or enable him but those who ignored urgent, informed warnings like this one.”
Musk seems to have become close friends with Trump in the run-up to last year’s US presidential election.

The billionaire even took to the campaign trail, making appearances at Republican rallies and offering registered voters a daily chance to win $1 million.
In exchange for an entity into the lottery, people had to sign a petition that was said to promote ‘free speech and the right to bear arms’.
The Tesla boss also spent an increasing amount of time at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida.
He even celebrated Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve at the property.

It’s expected that Musk will play an important role when Trump makes his return to the White House later this month, after he was appointed the head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
While not technically a department of government, DOGE will work as an outside advisor to Trump, with Musk promising to make huge cuts to the federal budget.
