Honestly this is scary. Someone with a lot of power and sway over speech and other things getting paranoid that people are after him, and lashing out at any perceived threat is scary.

It would be scary if he didn't have half the power he currently holds.

Would be scarier if we hadn’t just endured 4 years of the exact same thing with Trump. Scarier thing to me now is that people somehow still can’t see guys like Musk and Trump (malignant narcissists both) coming from a mile away.

It very much explains the 'strong man' concept and why people fell for it in the past.

See Bob Altemeyer for research into "people who are willing to follow strong men" (authoritarian followers)
