Even for Musk, it's lonely at the top.

Being the world's richest person, a billionaire CEO of multiple companies and a guy who threatens foreign dictators with flamethrowers isn't enough to keep Musk from getting lonely sometimes. In a new interview with Business Insider, the CEO of Insider's parent company, Mathias Döpfner, talked about his feelings for the two companies.

Musk told the outlet that there are times when he feels lonely.

There are a number of things that Musk could have on his mind. The break-up with singer Grimes, the pushed-back rocket launches and production timelines, and the knowledge that his intervention in Ukraine is actually saving lives and causing more tension during Russia's invasion of the country are all great candidates.

It sounds like a lot.

Mad Genius

There is a problem with asking if Musk is lonely. A lot of interviewers and writers paint white tech and science bros as troubled geniuses of Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, and Jeff Bezos.

To understand any of these men, as well as their innovations, failures and successes, we have to stop supporting them because they are smart.

Musk gets lonely, seriously. Humans are worthy of compassion because they are a human emotion we can all relate to.

Can we just start with whether he supports, say, racial, instead of asking whether he is the eccentric, Batman-esque hero building a space ship to the next great beyond in a tiny house with a tiny dog?

The amateur rocket builders are planning to launch a person to space.
