Elon is in no way “relatable” unless you mean to other billionaire man-children. That much money makes him a virtual alien to the vast majority of humans.

I think he had a media construct of that. He was never actually that.

I’m going to object to calling him a dad too. He had kids. I have never seen any sign he has anything to do with them. When one disowned him, he actually responded by saying you can’t win them all, which tells me he has no real feelings for them. He’s not a father in any sense beyond genetics.

I have only heard this fact from the x-files; anyone else? (bad blood season 5 ep 12)
I can’t cite you a source, but I read lots of horror themed folklore in my youth. Some of it claimed that vampires were obsessive counters.
Other methods commonly practised in Europe included […] or placing poppy seeds, millet, or sand on the ground at the grave site of a presumed vampire; this was intended to keep the vampire occupied all night by counting the fallen grains,[28][29] indicating an association of vampires with arithmomania. Similar Chinese narratives state that if a vampiric being came across a sack of rice, it would have to count every grain; this is a theme encountered in myths from the Indian subcontinent, as well as in South American tales of witches and other sorts of evil or mischievous spirits or beings.[30]
