Is he? Obsessed people are generally hyper-focused on their obsession by definition, Musk has pivoted to electric cars, "free speech" and now re-shaping government since announcing his Mars ambitions.

He's definitely obsessed with being seen by others as the guy who's going to be the first to Mars, but I'd put it in the same camp as his obsession with being seen as an elite Path of Exile 2 player.
