Unfortunately, the best answer by an actual employee got deleted.

The site says it was by a mod and not the original author, but I don't know whether to trust it and don't want to repost anything in its entirety if the author might have wanted it hidden.

And Desmalesium on why is Elon Musk so impulsive?

Link in post.

I think the article gets some of its psychiatry wrong.

It would be bizarre and basically unprecedented for Bupropion to radically change someone's personality, but I appreciate the thoughtful analysis.

Posts by Elon Musk on Twitter slash x by time.

It's the local time zone for California up till December 2020 and then Texas time zone.

So we have years on the x-axis from 2014 through to 2024.

And then we have time on the y-axis representing the full scale of 24 hours from midnight at the bottom up to midnight again at the top.

And then we have red dots scattered throughout this entire time period showing different posts on Twitter.

So it looks like a fine dust at the start.
