This interviewer keeps asking negative questions of Musk, and yet Isaacson keeps answering as neutral as possible while also complimenting Musk (and Jobs too) and giving credit where credit is due to them. Makes me appreciate Isaacson much more now, I definitely support his positive judgement of Musk after spending so much time so close to him.

Was going to write this exact thing, so desperate to paint a dictator personality and Walter shoots it down. Was a much better interview than I expected and that is only because of Walter.

Just watched this after watching the same interview on Lex Fridman’s podcast. There’s a stark difference in the interviewing styles. Some observations: 1. Lex gives it to us uncut. This seems as though there are segments that have been cut. 2. Lex’s approach seems non-judgmental and positive. WSJ’s seems negative/biased/agenda driven. 3. Lex makes it personal by giving anecdotes from his own life and asks deep and interesting questions about Walter’s life. WSJ strips the humanity out of the narrative by rapid firing through questions on Elon’s morality and sanity without asking questions about his achievements and the impact his companies have had/ will have on society. Hats off to Lex. I really appreciate his approach. Can highly recommend him to anyone who hasn’t heard of him!

@@black_squall You are talking about mariodemetriou1034's nut hugging as an example I guess. This interview had nothing to do with being biased at all. The interviewer asked the right questions without nut hugging Elon as Lex did in his interview. Talking much about what he has achieved is totally pointless as that is something either people very well know about or can easily google. When you focus much on that as Lex did, is a typical example of nut hugging Elon. The only facts that are of interest, are how Elon behaves, treats people, his childhood and in general personal life. Talking about him making cars and space rockets is just nonsense in an interview like this. Talking about what impact Elon's cars, rockets and more have and will have on society is also of very little value in an interview about a biography of Elon. Or in an interview about Elon as a person in general.

It's an interesting perspective from someone who's got to know his subject, but good Elon Musk interviews are more interesting than this. Watch his interviews with Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman.

Growing up in Pretoria in the 1980s was much more complex than people generally think. There was a war going on. There were sanctions. There were many bomb threats. Sometimes bombs did go off. There was a lot of bullying going on. Once a week high school boys had to wear military uniforms and take part in military drills. All young men had to join the army after finishing high school or university. Elon was therefore exposed to high levels of discipline in school, but luckily avoided being drafted into the army when he left for Canada after finishing high school. Army conscription then stopped around 1991 anyway. The school system on the other hand looked out for smart, Aspergers kids to help solve future problems. Kids with Aspergers were seen as gifted, not disabled and encouraged to attend extra and advanced classes. There were many bursaries available for smart, hard-working kids to attend universities. Errol Musk might have been negative as many higher level jobs and opportunities were reserved for members of the (Afrikaans speaking) Broederbond, a type of Illuminati. Hy possibly just didn’t want Elon to have unrealistic expectations. The South African economy at that time consisted mainly of a few very large companies and small companies had to have the right contacts to get business. Sanctions limited scope to create the type of companies that Elon wanted to create. Canada and the US opened up possibilities.

I think the interviewer focused on the negative attributes of Elon too much, and the Author did a great job at trying to stop that being the focus of discussion.

It was as if your enemy is trying to find out and share horrible things about you.

No mention of Boring Company or Neuralink? Great interview.

WSJ just can't have a normal interview about people they don't actually like, the way Walter described Elon musk's "demon mode" and the direction in which the interviewer was trying to take it were different. At some point, Walter mentions that Elon also has other modes "Engineer, Inspirational" and then the interview just redirects him to "demon mode" 😅

Overall a quite foreboding depiction of the man. They picked up Grimes use of the phrase "demon mode" and used it liberally to describe Musk's behaviour - to make it stick. Big focus on his temper where, apparently, he doesn't yell or lose control or get violent. That's a bad temper? Seems to me that's a guy who is the CEO of multiple companies and has to get stuff done. This interview kind of cracked me up. Their characterizations are a bit silly.

Very similar to Steve Jobs in that he snaps into this dark mode and then barely remembers it after

48 laws of power: Law 41 avoid stepping into a great man's shoes. (His father wasn't great nor a business innovator) Elon is a real life hero. I remember one passage though. 'You may believe that you have separated yourself from the predecessor or father figure, but as you grow older you must be eternally vigilant lest you become the father you had rebelled against.' Really hope he achieves his goals because our future generations truly depend on his missions. Sterkte Elon. P.S Bill Gates, is a egocentric hypocrite.

what a wonderful and fantastic interview! thanks!

It's a miracle the guy is alive. Anyone that can overcome what Elon has overcome does not live in fear. He is truely free. I love him. Nobody is perfect.

Anyone who survives the 💩 other people, including 'family', can dish out to them in this life deserves my respect.
