Elon Musk posted ‘Make Asylums Great Again!’ amid grief over the Rhode Island arena shooting, where Robert Dorgan killed his ex-wife and son before taking his own life, and the Canada rampage by Jesse Van Rootselaar that left eight dead.
Both shooters had documented mental breakdowns and identified as transgender, sparking debates on violence, gender, and care gaps. His call nods to U.S. deinstitutionalization since the 1950s-1980s, which cut psychiatric beds from over 550,000 to 30,000, leaving many untreated on streets or in jails, as Trump once echoed after other tragedies.
