People who have read my commentary are aware that I haven’t been a big fan of Elon Musk — most notably his political interventions and mismanagement of Twitter. Prior to 2022 I had a relatively benign view of him, but that has definitely soured since then. That said I always aim to keep an open mind and wanted to read more about his life. This book laid out how Musk rose from a difficult upbringing to put together a space exploration and electric car company almost from scratch. It’s not just that he became rich (originally from working on payments companies), but he was a forceful and genuinely visionary entrepreneur who he has built some real things that are deeply impressive. One of the themes of this otherwise very laudatory book is that, as he has aged, Musk’s psychological condition has become more unstable. This is in part due to stress and personal traumas. He probably should not be running Twitter let alone the government. Despite that we can acknowledge the good aspects of his past career.

A level headed assessment. Musk is someone I had a lot of admiration for ~10 years ago. When he opines on topics he’s (clearly) not an expert in he frequently makes himself look like a fool and cuts into his credibility elsewhere imo
