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

How much influence did he have in this book? Can you trust the material as objective?

Even ketamine and whatever binges aside, he's notorious for living with fairly little sleep. Whatever issues he was dealing with are guaranteed to exacerbate without good sleep.

Really appreciate this take. Balanced, appreciates the good, acknowledges the bad.

I've often wondered about the disconnect between his clear brilliance in certain areas and how unhinged he seems in other aspects. Thanks for the perspective, that thesis makes a lot of sense to me. 20 $degen

Had dinner with someone at Simon & Schuster (publisher) last year, and they said something interesting—publishing a book about someone young & alive is risky. Their story isn’t finished. But they took the gamble because the book pioneered a new product category and served as a timestamp in history.
