At this point it's difficult to believe that he is of average intelligence.

I suspect his critical thinking ability has been warped by the extreme insulation from consequences that comes from being the richest person on the planet.

If he had to actually seriously consider consequences he might surprise us by showing average or better mental acuity.  But he’s reached a level of “success” that distorts his perceptions and allows him to make terrible decisions while still feeling like he is coming out ahead.

And all the Ketamine. Can’t forget the years of abusing Ketamine.

Which, I want to add, isn't a rumor. It's the one thing he's admitted to. The rest he's stayed silent on, but he's admitted to the Ketamine.

Fuck knows what else he's on. There have been rumors, but nothing solid. It definitely explains why he's so fucking erratic, though.
