“Yeah [Re: Are-You-Bipolar Question]”, Elon Musk2017-07-30 (; backlinks)⁠:

[see also: Ye] The reality is great highs, terrible lows and unrelenting stress. Don’t think people want to hear about the last two.

I’m sure there are better answers than what I do, which is just take the pain and make sure you really care about what you’re doing

[Sunday, on Twitter, Musk was also asked “are you bipolar?”, to which Musk replied:]

Yeah

Maybe not medically tho. Dunno. Bad feelings correlate to bad events, so maybe real problem is getting carried away in what I sign up for.

If you buy a ticket to hell, it isn’t fair to blame hell …
