Musk Admits to Multiple 'Cyber Psychosis' Episodes Amid AI Mental Health Concerns
Elon Musk stated he experienced 'cyber psychosis' approximately six times this year during a virtual event at Tesla's Giga Texas facility on October 10.

While Musk's comments were made in the context of AI-generated music, they coincide with emerging research linking chatbot interactions to worsened psychotic symptoms in vulnerable users.
