Elon Musk should be admitted on an interplanetary 51/50

In nursing school, I participated in a rotation at a high-security mental health facility in Palo Alto, California. During these rotations, the students could not do much. Hospitals fear litigation and lawsuits, so the students roamed around and talked to the patients.
I wandered into one of the patient's rooms with severe mental health problems; there was a warning tag at the door. Remember, this is a high-security, locked-up facility for a reason. Only big-time, dangerous, koo-koo-kaka insane people get the privilege. And let me make an insertion here because it will be important information as you read this.
To admit a person to a high-security mental health facility, you need to go through a protocol called 51/50. To satisfy this protocol, the patient needs to have a history of hurting others or themselves. One case won't do it; they must have several documented incidents on police report files.
Anyhow, this lady had several beautiful drawings and paintings on the walls. They were stunningly gorgeous and well done, reminiscing a talented and advanced artist's work.Â
I asked the patient if the paintings were hers, and she humbly replied yes. I started a conversation with this seemingly insane patient, but there was nothing I could call insane about this person. She was accurate, smart, coherent, and normal. I was impressed by how articulate she was.
The most obvious question didn't take long: what are you doing here? She then said, "I was expecting you to say that. Let me explain; it's kind of a long story. My dad is a film producer in LA, and there was this party; there were drugs involved, you know. Somehow, the neighbors called the police, and I was involved with the wrong people at the wrong time; I had a bit of a reaction, and I do have some history of that. One thing led to another: my dad had to go on a trip and could not be reached, and somehow, inexplicably, I ended up here for what seemed to be an eternity, but finally, my dad will pick me up this afternoon.
I am pretty immune to being conned because I'm extra suspicious by nature, and she passed all my high control standards. She was coherent, convincing, and virtually impossible to detect. I momentarily declared her not crazy, but I knew there had to be a reason for her to be there. So I asked an RN about it, and she simply pointed to the nursing stations and nonchalantly said, "Just read her chart."Â
As I read the chart, I realized that there was no LA, no dad film producer, no party, no nothing but a history of conning others and a history of hurting others and herself. Nothing, absolutely nothing of what she said was true.
In my car, as I commuted home and thought about what had just happened, I had an epiphany. It became clear to me, not only intellectually but emotionally, that everyone we meet and interact with could be completely insane, and yet we could never know for sure. No one will pay attention as long as they don't hurt anyone or themselves. Our norms of conduct are just a facade, a momentary interchange. This event years ago was one of the most important learning experiences I had in nursing school and my life.
Back to the future in our troubled country afflicted by bouts of crazy, that day in the past came to life as it was yesterday. What makes that event in the past jump back to life is that I see the exact correlation between that patient in the facility and Elon Musk and the president, too. They are both crazy, just a little different kind of crazy. They are both dangerous and crazy, but Elon Musk is more hazardous and more crazy. There is crazy, and then there is crazy that hurts others, and Elon is the latter. Â
Let's take the Mars project as an example. I first thought Elon's "colonize Mars" project was a scam and that he was trying to sell his rockets to the government. But today, I deduced he truly believes all of this to be possible because he is that delusional.Â
We simply don't have the technology to send anyone to Mars, let alone
colonize a planet with no water, no gravity, no food, and no viability to support a half dozen people for a short time at the cost of trillions of dollars. There is absolutely no justification to spend this kind of resources. Yet people believe that it could be true because, after all, Elon has the power to convince, just like the patient in the facility.
You see, Elon wants to be the savior of the world, even if he has to screw the entire planet so he can save us, sending everyone to Mars. His mental illness may be classified as malignant pathological megalomania. There, I took the liberty to give him a diagnosis. But as long as he is entertaining his pathology and not harming anyone, he can go forever like this. Everyone will consider him an eccentric billionaire like many others in America. But his pathology is malignant, and here's why he needs to be sent out on a planetary 51/50 without delay.
Propped by his insane richness (a kind of societal pathology), and if not stopped, he will cause untold harm to humanity. He purchased the presidency and quickly installed himself as a high-level official even though no one had voted for him. He quickly gains access to our most guarded and sensitive financial databases.
He is a heartless sociopath with no empathy. He believes the earth is doomed or will be doomed by him, and only he has the answer, and only he can save humanity by sending everyone to Mars. He is a menace to Europe and the world, stoking the ambers of Nazism in Germany and offering support for some of the most extreme voices in German politics.
Elon is the most dangerous person in the world. Elon Musk fits the profile of a mentally ill person who is about to cause untold harm to millions. He must be admitted on a 51/50 status STAT before it is too late.
