Did Musk’s dad own an emerald mine? Does Musk believe his own wild promises? And how smart is he really?
Walter Isaacson’s new biography of Elon Musk has made headlines for its now-disputed account of how Musk supposedly scuttled a Ukrainian drone attack by pulling the plug on the Starlink satellite internet service guiding the drones. Both Musk and Isaacson now say the service was already limited in a way that prevented the attack.
While Musk may have believed in the idea at first, the company struggled to execute his vision. That became a problem for Musk in 2021, when Tesla shareholders sued him over the SolarCity acquisition. Isaacson reports that Musk made the solar roof his top priority — until he won the lawsuit, after which “his fervor to solve the problem receded.”Musk has denied reports in the Wall Street Journal that he’s building aand that Tesla was possibly going to pay for it.
Musk expressed regret at the move on several occasions, according to the book. In a November 2022 meeting with a Tesla design team that was working on the company’s idea for self-driving “robotaxis,” a “tired and dejected” Musk said of the Twitter acquisition: “I don’t know why I did it. The judge basically said I have to buy Twitter or else, and now I’m like, okay, [expletive].
Isaacson’s book points to Musk himself as the culprit. Against employees’ warnings, Musk had insisted on moving entire banks of servers from a data center in Sacramento to one in Oregon to save money. When they wouldn’t do it over the Christmas holiday, Musk and a carful of friends and family decided to drive to Sacramento and start moving the racks themselves.
