I am very familiar with bipolar people and how they act when they are manic - unable to answer questions directly, rambling thought, believe entities are speaking to them, they are "chosen", infectious energy, not taking care of their personal appearance, it goes on.. I'm 100% certain this is mania. He even says he stopped taking his pills during the interview.
Many people have noted his behavior seems very similar to someone in a manic episode. While this isn't bulletproof evidence and shouldn't be taken as such, I think it's worth something. There's definitely something off about him, that doesn't mean he has no responsibility but I think it's telling the reaction
The problem with this reasoning is that people can say things that sound crazy without it being a symptom of a mental disorder.
