Find Remarkable or Interesting Anecdotes from ELON MUSK's Autobiography

Elon Musk is opening up like never before in a new biography that's creating headlines.

In the much-anticipated release, titled Elon Musk, author Walter Isaacson is revealing new details about the billionaire entrepreneur's childhood, his relationships with former wives and girlfriends, and his children.

According to publisher Simon & Schuster, Isaacson, who previously wrote a biography of Steve Jobs, spent two years shadowing and interviewing Musk himself as well as speaking with his family, friends and colleagues.

But while Elon Musk is probably as entertaining as any celebrity business bio could be, it is not in any way a book of ideas.

Like Isaacson’s equally readable Jobs bio (the Musk book replicates Jobs’ iconic cover photo),“ this book is an enthusiastic tale about a personality, not a meditation on the meaning of that personality’s work.”

Welcome Tigers to read from the Internet and share some of the biggest bombshells,remarkable or interesting anecdotes from the book that impressed you.

(You can copy write in words and can also share screenshot from your findings.)

For example:

Musk commented on the two U.S. presidents: Trump is a "liar" and Biden is like a "doll."

"I'm not a fan of Trump, he's destructive," he told his biographer, Walter Isaacson. Isaacson writes in the book that Musk "deeply despises" the former president, calling him a "liar" and appearing to be "a little bit crazy."

But at the same time, he is not a supporter of current President Joe Biden, although he told Isaacson that if he voted in the 2020 election, he would vote for Biden. He decided not to vote because he believed his vote was of little significance. Musk is a registered voter in California, and California is a strong vote base for the Democratic Party, so whether he votes or not, California will be won by the Democratic Party.

    🌟🌟🌟I am inspired by Elon Musk's quote - When Something Is Important Enough, You Do It, even if the Odds Are Not In Your Favour.
    That's how he started his vision of Electric Vehicle, when no one believes that it can happen.
    That's the spirit of Determination, Courage and Fortitude!
    That's how he becomes the World's Richest Man.
    That's why he is unstoppable!

    PayPal would go on to be one of his most successful companies; Musk and his partners, including Confinity co-founder Peter Thiel, sold it to eBay in 2002 for a $1.5 billion stock deal.

      Based on the information I found, Walter Isaacson has not written a biography on Elon Musk. However, there is a biography on Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance that contains many interesting anecdotes about his life and career. Some of these anecdotes include Musk's childhood in South Africa, his early entrepreneurial ventures, his involvement in PayPal, his founding of SpaceX and Tesla, and his ambitious plans for colonizing Mars.

    Musk actually hopes for peace and not war in Ukraine. He refused to activate the coverage of the Starlink satellite communications near Rusdian-occupied Crimea. Qoute Musk, “If I had agreed to their request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.”

    "Ever since I was a kid, if I start to think about something hard, then all my sensory systems turn off. I can’t see or hear anything. I’m using my brain to compute, not for incoming information."

      Based on the relevant information I have found, Elon Musk's biography is full of remarkable and interesting anecdotes. Here are a few examples:

      Musk taught himself computer programming at the age of 12 and sold his first computer game for $500.

        

      Musk dropped out of Stanford University's PhD program after just two days to start his first company, Zip2.

        

      When Musk was starting SpaceX, he faced multiple failures and was on the verge of bankruptcy. He even had to borrow money from friends to pay his rent.

        

      Musk once fired his assistant for asking for a raise. He later admitted that it was a mistake and gave her a generous severance package.

        

      Musk is known for his intense work ethic and has been known to work up to 100 hours a week.

        

      These are just a few examples of the many interesting anecdotes from Elon Musk's life.
