Next time you see a video of Elon Musk, watch his eye movements. You can see that his eyes move around a lot.
In the image the interviewer is seated to the right of Musk. This is just one of the many instances that the Musk’s eyes move around a lot.

The highly scientific answer can be read upon here with detailed explanations of the biological reasons behind Elon Musk’s speech patterns.
The simplified reasons behind his speech patterns are as follows:
- He doesn’t practice his speeches at all. Allegedly everything is made up on the spot.
- He has lots going on (Professionally). As of November 2017 Elon holds the following positions:
- CEO and CTO of SpaceX
- CEO and product architect of Tesla, Inc.
- CEO of Neuralink
- Chairman of SolarCity
- Co-chairman of OpenAI
- Founder of The Boring Company
- He is not a public speaker. He’s a scientist, a visionary and an Entrepreneur, but not a speaker.
- He’s human. It’s not uncommon to stutter while giving a speech. It’s a human thing to do, Musk is no different to anyone else in that sense.
