It's hard to think of better evidence that Musk is a narcissist than that episode. Remember, what sparked him off was that he wanted the rescuers trying to save the boys trapped in a Thai cave to use his rescue submarine to do the job. That would have made him a global superhero. Sadly for him, the rescuers said they had it covered, and they did.
You would have thought if his main purpose was to save the kids, he would have been ecstatic that they were rescued even if he wasn't involved in the rescue. He should have showered the rescuers with praise and perhaps offered them a nice reward.
Instead, he wanted to take down those rescuers, and what better way to do it than insinuate they were paedophiles. Pathetic, really ...
The skills of psychopaths and malignant narcissists can be harnessed to work for the public good. For instance, psychologists frequently point out that companies can use the skills of psychopaths in management and various professions seem to play to their strengths. But when they have the financial power to override any attempt to restrain them, any public good will be a lucky byproduct of satisfying their own needs.
Quick tip ... if anybody says "Only I can fix it!", run away as fast as you can. That sort of grandiosity is a red flag.
