"Elon has an addiction to Twitter" - Walter Isaacson on Elon Musk

The biographer of Steve Jobs and Leonardo Da Vinci was with Elon Musk through the most turbulent days of his life to date. He takes us into the psyche of the world’s richest man.
“I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life” - Elon Musk
For two years, internationally bestselling biographer and former editor of Time magazine Walter Isaacson shadowed Elon Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, co-workers, and adversaries.
Now he joined Matthew d'Ancona in London to share the ultimate inside story of the most controversial innovator of our era: at once a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence, and a man-child prone to Jekyll and Hyde mood swings with a craving for drama and a maniacal intensity that is callous and at times destructive.

I was quite disappointed in Isaacson's book. He wrote what the musk's told him without much due diligence. Don't get me wrong it's still fun to read about musks antics but it's far from a thorough review of his actions and outcomes. FT alhpaville has a great expose on the financial guff in that book. Worth a read.
