>Is the brain chip guy a narcissist?
While many psychologists and business analysts describe Elon Musk as having narcissistic traits or tendencies (like grandiosity, risk-taking, belief in his own mission, controlling behavior, and resistance to oversight), only a qualified mental health professional can diagnose Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD); he has not been officially diagnosed public.
>Do narcissists ever go get professional help?
Yes, narcissists can seek help, but it's RARE and usually happens due to a major crisis (like job loss, divorce) or pressure from loved ones, rather than self-awareness, as their CORE BELIEF IS THAT THEY AREN’T THE PROBLEM, but rather others are.
When they do go, they often need therapy for co-occurring issues like ANXIETY or DEPRESSION, or for specific goals like improving high-functioning aspects of their life, focusing on empathy and self-esteem.
I grew up with these things. They’re not human. They’re Gizmo out in public n Gremlins behind closed doors.
Gotta tread lightly around NARCOPATHS.
