Damaged and unique but not broken. He is extremely driven, energetic, and passionate. He self diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and bi-polar but refuses medication as that might blunt his drive and inventiveness. His IQ is estimated at between 155-160. He was bullied as a kid. He would stare into space by himself and not even his mother could unlock him when he was in a trance. His father often stood him in the middle of the room and verbally berated him for hours, telling him he is stupid. He and his brother later cut off ties with his father after he (Errol) got his 17-yr old step daughter pregnant. He lost his first son to SIDS and went into a deep deep depression. He has had companies that he managed removed from under him (e.g. PayPal) and has been near bankruptcy a couple of times (e.g. as he was trying to get Tesla profitable). And now he is one of the richest people on earth and yet doesn't care about it.
