    One [theory] was the possibility that an outside “sniper” had shot the rocket. This theory appealed to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who was asleep at his home in California when the rocket exploded. Within hours of hearing about the failure, Musk gravitated toward the simple answer of a projectile being shot through the rocket.

    I feel like pathological paranoia can be a sign of having a guilty conscience.

      Assuming he’s capable of feeling guilty is pretty generous. I think he’s too much of a sociopath to feel guilty about his actions.
