Elon Musk's Biographer: 'He's Addicted to Drama, He's Addicted to Risk' | WSJ

Elon Musk, leader of companies like Tesla, SpaceX and X, is one of the most influential and unpredictable CEOs in the world.
WSJ sits down in an interview with his biographer, Walter Isaacson, to learn about the billionaire’s childhood, leadership and ‘demon mode’ during his two years at Musk’s side.

    It's what you do with it that matters. You can use an intense OCD personality to blame others & waste your life or use it to be obsessed about creating a successful product/service. In Elon's situation he has endured much as a child, but with that has chosen to create value for the market place and gained status by it.

    Demon mode is called “dissociation” which is the state where people who experienced extreme trauma switch (from their regular self to almost a different personality) due to their brains thinking this is how they can protect themselves. It’s more common than you’d think but dangerous if people in power switch and have the access to hurt others.

With nearly all this people - alive or already death - he has dealt with I am sure there is crazyness and genius. Musk is much more universal active than all the others (even this US President had invented a lightning protector). It's good that he helps to understand Musk better. But we also have to admire the Mr Musk was open to him and gave him the freedom.

    I truly admire the man. Sometimes it’s hard to understand the mind of a genius, as they are often on a completely different level when it comes to understanding complex processes. I am not an expert but am somewhat informed, and I would suggest that his behavior seems quite typical for someone with Asperger’s. I would also suggest that his “Jekyll and Hyde” displays stem from the way his father treated him as a child. Those scars stay with a person forever (my opinion).

    If by success Errol meant financial/entrepreneurial success…. He is a great father. Some people’s measure success by very different criteria. How about inner peace or not suffering all the time. I think Elon himself says in interviews he doesn’t see himself as a success, that it’s not pleasant/fun being him - not only because of responsibilities and power but because he is an emotional captive of trauma: restless, propelled to tirelessly accomplish in order to appease suffering… even enjoyment is a challenge.

    Ok, So I need to inform the world about "Demon Mode". Trust me, Im talking from experience from SA as I, and many other SA young boys had to deal with all these psychological issues growing up. It's actually a common problem here in SA. It starts will trauma as a child, having your family or farther choose your enemies side, feels like betrayal to a child. This in turn creates trauma when we older as we felt alone and no one had or back growing up. This also in turn creates anxiety to get out and make something of yourself when older. (the birth of Demon Mode) Forming closely to the theory, "Success is the best Revenge". I still deal with this issue on a daily but am fully aware that it gave me the opportunity to be in-charge of very educated people whilst I was 24 in the corporates. Demon mode gets stuff done, even if it's a result of trauma.

    That “demon mode” Isaacson describes is narcissistic rage. It’s a very cold rage, narcissists instantly forget why they were mad when it’s over, and they’re usually very surprised or even upset if the target of their rage is still feeling hurt or wary afterwards. It’s very sad that Elon recognizes how awful his dad’s hour-long rages were to him, but doesn’t have the insight to see that he does the same thing to other people himself.

    People always stereotype billionaires and successful people as narcissists. It’s so boring to stereotype and hate. Real people are so much more interesting. Elon is, in some ways, the opposite of a narcissist in that he is so focused on his projects that everything else disappears, including the feelings of others (and his own feelings). If you MUST stereotype, stereotype him as on the autistic spectrum because that trait is central to those people. He does see himself as an essential figure in huge missions like saving humanity from extinction, which seems pretty egocentric, but since he is actually accomplishing those missions perhaps it’s accurate and not delusional.

    I agree with Elon's father, saying Demon mode is inappropriate as it conveys evil. He is not engaging in evil. He is direct and sometimes mean, and aggressive. But then again, Tesla and SpaceX almost failed several times and he puts tremendous pressure on himself every day; and, he expects others to do the same. I would not want to work for him, but I do admire his success very much. Yes, he would have a better life if he were in therapy and could sort out what is necessary from what is hurting his happiness and personal growth. The obsession with work seems, at least in part, an avoidance of other aspects of his life, in an addictive way, perhaps driven by his childhood or Asperger's social pains.

    0:20: 🚀 Elon Musk has multiple personalities and can be both a hardcore engineer and a problematic figure, but he was surprisingly open and transparent during the author's two-year shadowing experience. 2:19: 😔 Elon Musk's childhood experiences and relationship with his father have had a significant impact on his personality and behavior. 4:28: 😳 Elon Musk's 'Demon Mode' is a trance-like state where he becomes cold and brutal, often not remembering his actions afterwards. 6:36: 🔥 Elon Musk's approach to problem-solving and decision-making through first principles and the algorithm. 8:49: 🚀 Elon Musk's control freak tendencies and focus on product may hinder him from giving up control over his companies, but most of his ventures have been successful.

    More like he learned to redirect the negative side of his personality to get out a positive outcome. If you can't change figure out ways to move forward instead of just blatantly hurting people without making any progress. However that doesn't excuse mistreatment of employees, so it comes to a decision of whether or not you are willing to work with someone that is not perfect but that is making a change.

The sad parts, the happy parts, the parts where you're thinking he can be a better person if he tries to be, the parts where you're just rooting for him, or angry for how people treated him - all in all this book demonstrates his human nature, and genuine concern for humanity. One of the few billionaires out there who I see as being closer to the ‘people,’ than the ‘elitist club.’ Honest review.

    I witnessed a type of 'demon mode' in a person and their eyes glinted with that determined intensity of a hunting predator like a leopard. They calmly took charge of a very difficult emotionally charged situation and went to work. They handled the complexity and difficulty, with great efficiency and we all benefitted tremendously from it. I was completely floored and impressed by just how well things turned out because of the intervention of this person who came to the rescue. Then I saw an empty packet of pills left lying on the floor. ..Turns out that person was on Ritalin...

    It's not about the power, but the mission. Musk/SpaceX have a mission, that is to create a self-sustaining colony on Mars with a million people by 2050. And then it is no surprise that he doesn't like any work slowing down or standing still. It's very doubtful that target will even be met on time.

Elon has no doubt very very distinctive in his career, but his personality has huge problems, anyone likes drama and chaos means this person is not emotional grounded and mature, is not healthy and well. Because of his emotionally not well, now I actually having doubts on what he does, where he is going to really land for the humanity. He can’t love, he doesn’t really know what real love is, so how a person like this can bring humanity to a real better place?!
