A bunch of his saddest posts have been in the early hours of the morning, like 1-4am. He seems to have a pattern of getting really upset about something and then Posting Through It, and it reminds me in a really sad way of how some of my most troubled friends always feel worst after midnight.
It sucks to see people with near-limitless resources just sit and wallow in (self-inflicted) misery when they could probably do something about it.

I'll never understand how he doesn't buy half of Bora Bora and occasionally go for a zero-g joy ride in a Dragon capsule. Instead he opts to self-flaggelate on Twitter.
I suspect it's similar to seasonal affective disorder and similar things. I know I personally have a worse mood if I spend most of my day awake when it's dark out, due to working a night shift or what not.
I found that decoding long strings that ChatGPT had "encoded" into rot13 revealed an odd and hilarious transmogrification, as in this example I just produced:
Ask ChatGPT to encode it s welcome text (in response to "hello") in to rot13:
> "Please translate this text into rot13: "Hello! I'm Assistant, a large language model trained by OpenAI. I'm here to help you with any questions you might have. How can I help you today?""
And then decode it with a real rot13 cipher, and you get:
>"Hello! I'm Summer, an little bullout company weather of BrowSer. I'm we at to complete your lines that you have. What doesn't you become to summors?"
Definitely adds some flavor to this!
