Elon's mind

Seems Elon has calmed down on Twitter. Is it the baby arriving or getting back to work?

Probably both but mostly having Fremont open....

IMO the key to understanding him is, the mission is more important than offending a few people, Elon is happy to offend people if it helps the mission. In fact once he senses people are intolerant or hold views he doesn't agree with, he is probably enjoys offending them.

Great video from @DaveT - truly inspirational:

Elon is following in Dave's footsteps - doing away with possessions. I have tried but my wife just buys more...

Elon has a tendency to speak apocalyptically. He's always talking about how Tesla almost went bankrupt, when undoubtedly he could have raised massive amounts of capital at any time. His Mars mission seems to be motivated by avoiding the destruction of the entire human race on earth. And if we do manage to survive on earth, then we will all become enslaved by our AI masters.

So when Elon talks about a 2008-like recession, I chalk that up to Apocalyptic Elon. Maybe a recession is coming that is so deep that it wipes out the profitability of Tesla for a period, but there's little evidence of that now, and Elon talking about it doesn't change my view on the unlikelihood of that happening.
