Oh yeah, his entitled superior "creepy" factor oozed the minute he opened his mouth -- it wouldn't matter what he was saying, it's how he said it and his mannerisms/demeanor. That was clear from the jump of the Youtube video. IMO.
I wondered if his destructive mental and emotional states were noticed by his family, or was he living in a reality of his own making without their notice.
Seems they knew he was way off, based on latest updates. His dad's attorney says that Elliot was receiving mental health treatment from several therapists and had been labeled a high-functioning Asperger's patient (same as Adam Lanza).
Reportedly, his dad called police on him a couple of months back when he found some of Elliot's disturbing Youtube videos. Police interviewed him and noted that he was a polite kid and that he had trouble making friends.
A social worker also allegedly reported him to authorities last week after seeing one of his videos.
He spent time on a site for disgruntled males who blame women because they can't get laid and a bodybuilder site. Even there, his rants and materialism were met with scorn in many cases.

How'd he get the gun? If he was receiving treatment, was it noted and in the NICS database for background checks? Was it instead one owned by dad? Or, did he simply take some of that money that seemed to be thrown at him by his parents and buy one black market? That'll be the next question the media dives into, I bet.
One of the victims has been named, 19-year-old Veronica Weiss. RIP. I feel so badly for the families of the girls that he killed.
