It's not. He's a narcissist with poor judgement.

Probably that, but further, he seems like he's just coming unglued/spiraling out of control. Seems to be a lot of that going around..

Hmmm... A narcissist probably, but poor judgement just doesn't make sense.

You don't become the riches man on the planet if you have poor judgement. You end up a homeless junkie pimping out your own ass for your next fix.

I get that there is a lot of love and hate on both sides for Elon and honestly I have no dog in that fight, but statements like that are simply not based in reality.

Now, has he made mistakes before that were caused by poor judgement, obviously yes, haven't we all. He is only human after all, maybe...

But again to generalise him as someone with poor judgement is very obviously not true.

It's possible to have good judgement in some areas and poor in others. In this case, I'd call it poor.
