Elon Musk Was Bullied As a Kid - Biographer Walter Isaacson looks into Elon's Past.

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.

He’s the richest man in the world and still gets bullied, lmao

[@davidtrindle6473]

He was bullied, and now he’s passing it forward by bullying others.

DNRS program would help Elon Tremendously.

A DNR program for him would help the rest of us, even more.

I was bullied, too. Somehow, I didn't become a ziofascist as a result. Musk is not a role model.

[@madmonkey823]

😄😄 He most certainly is. Regardless of your opinion on him and his personal politics he has qualities that are admirable to many people. You cannot argue against this. Although you may try.

[@chim-choo-ree]

@@madmonkey823 Do I need to point out all of the reactionary cretins whom other reactionary cretins find admirable? Your point does not stand.

[@madmonkey823]

No Shit

Everyone gets Bullied. Even Bullies. Parents and Teachers in Australia (& globally?) have made huge and systematic efforts to eradicate Bullying at school, online, and to some extent in the playground/street. Very interesting to observe the ramifications of this in the way younger students relate and treat one another, and also their relationships to the physical world - as say compared to their online space. - There are some people though who wonder whether the rough and tumble (incl bullying) of adolescence is some sort of 'rite of passage' necessary for preparing you for da 'real world; toughening you up in the face of adversity, forcing you to build different skills (incl Coping) and employing them effectively to achieve results.

Now he bullies others
