Seth Abramson, a Harvard-educated attorney and well-known author, has recently raised concerns about the mental state of tech mogul Elon Musk.
On January 6, 2025, Abramson, who describes himself as a biographer of Musk, cited troubling observations from the past two years of monitoring Musk's online activity in a series of tweets.
"I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad. I'm a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he's admitted to all of mental illness, heavy drug use, and crippling stress, it is now reasonable to fear he is deeply unwell," Abramson wrote.

Seth Abramson raises concerns over Elon Musk's mental state
On Monday, January 6, 2024, Seth Abramson took to his X account to issue a series of concerning statements about Elon Musk.
Abramson claimed that Musk may be experiencing significant psychological distress, which could have serious implications for the public.
In one of his tweets, Abramson emphasized that Musk's personal struggles would typically be a private matter. However, he argued that Musk’s influence over critical industries and his status as the incoming President of the United States elevate these issues to a matter of national concern.
"His private struggles would not be of general concern except they have dramatic public consequences. His holdings across many civilization-essential industries and the fact that he's the incoming POTUS mean that his madness and increasing incitement of violence endanger us all," Abramson wrote.
Seth Abramson went on to warn that the U.S. government has a limited window to take decisive action against Musk. He suggested that urgent measures should be implemented within the next fourteen days to mitigate potential risks.
"For 14 days more the administration is in a position to take urgent action to protect America from Elon Musk. That could include ending all U.S. contracts with him, filing lawsuits to block his unconstitutional DOGE initiative, and launching new federal and natsec investigations," Abramson added.
In his final remarks, Abramson cautioned that failure to act would have dire consequences. He asserted that the responsibility for any future harm caused by Musk’s actions would not only fall on Musk and his supporters but also on those who ignored the warnings.
As of writing, Elon Musk has not publicly responded to Abramson's claims.
