He's not unlike a twelve year old boy except most of them are more aware and compassionate and that's saying something, considering the immaturity of that age. Boys in early adolescence are seeking their place in the world and since most of the world follows patriarchal models, it takes some time to figure out which path to follow. Having money (i.e. coming from 'money') usually means that you're going to have a certain set of allowances that society 'grants' to you based on that as well as a certain set of expectations. Elon is going to forever chase the image he has of himself: as a historical figure, a man of brilliancy, the world's richest man, a father sperm donor to many children, an emperor, but he will never achieve satisfaction because there is no substance to that which he seeks. These are all characteristics that are ephemeral--someone will eventually surpass the qualities of richest or most children or brilliancy and even historical figures who are infamous are, in hindsight, reviled and derided as fools or evil.
Andrew Carnegie was able to blink away some rather shrewd manipulative business dealings by giving away much of his fortune with philanthropy. Somehow I don't see Elon doing that. he is a rather hollow brittle personality, one that shatters when touched.
