At various moments in “Elon Musk,” Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the world’s richest person, the author tries to make sense of the billionaire entrepreneur he has shadowed for two years — sitting in on meetings, getting a peek at emails and texts, engaging in “scores of interviews and late-night conversations.”

The author includes a gift link to the full NYTimes article.

    I’ll try to have a look at it, but please note that Common Sense Skeptic is famous, at least in the SpaceX community, as making a lot of bad faith arguments as soon as it’s related in some ways to Elon.

    (I’m not saying that to say you’re wrong, I just feel like it might be interesting to have that in mind ;) )

      That is fair and I don‘t even agree with all of his conclusions there, but the arguments and evidence he brings forward are helpful enough to draw own conclusions and the comments help a lot as swell. I personally think the little SpaceX criticism he sprinkled into the video are spot on as well, but that might not be the case with other videos of his. It‘s definitely Elon‘s company with the least bs when it comes to delivering. So I can see how one could falsely predict failures there and be surprised later.
