Elon Musk | Walter Isaacson

Walter Isaacson is a fantastic writer. He can make reading about an unlikable human an easy, smooth, and informative experience. He can‘t make me like the dude though.

TheBookHippie 🤢😵‍💫 agreed. 3mo

Susanita He‘s such a creep. 3mo

Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter | Kate Conger, Ryan Mac

#Positive_Things_I_Have_Done_Today

Although I haven't actually used Twitter/X for a long time, I have formally deactivated my account today. Take that, Elon!🖕

BarbaraBB Thanks, you convinced me to do the same. And I did! Bye scary Elon 👋🏽 8mo

AmyG I did that a while ago. It‘s just filled with hate and disinformation. (edited) 8mo

Seabreeze_Reader 👍👏 Good for you! 8mo

Bookwomble @BarbaraBB Nice one! 😊 It's a movement! ✊😄 (edited) 8mo

Bookwomble @AmyG @Seabreeze_Reader As I say, I haven't actually used Twitter/X in a while, but it felt that just being on his platform was a tacit endorsement of the man and his views, so I've performatively "consciously uncoupled" ? 8mo

BarbaraBB Same! 8mo

Seabreeze_Reader @Bookwomble I basically did the same for my Fbook account about 6 years ago. I stopped using it (for the obvious reasons) then completely nixed my account. Even after all these years, I don't miss it one bit. 8mo

Bookwomble @Seabreeze_Reader I still have my FB account due to the photos I have on there, and (theoretically) to view the pages created by deceased family members, but actually I haven't been on for about four years, and only went on there 2½ years ago because my uncle wanted me to post about my dad's passing. Otherwise, my mental and emotional health is better for not engaging, although it does mean that y'all Littens have to suffer me instead 😆 8mo

Seabreeze_Reader 🤣👍 8mo

As seen on X aka Twitter! 😁

Bookwomble I'd have to have that sticker, too, if I drove one of the vehicles his employees conceived, designed and built, and which he takes credit for. 9mo

AlaMich That‘s the best! 9mo

Elon Musk | Walter Isaacson

I don‘t like Musk, but I‘m in awe of Walter Isaacson, his biographer, after having read another of his books, “Steve Jobs”, a few years ago. This book is indeed very interesting.

SqueakyChu I never finished this book. Looking at Musk‘s face on the cover and knowing who he is simply creeped me out too much!! (edited) 7mo

SqueakyChu Blech!! I never want to see that face again! (edited) 4mo

While Elon Musk is a figure that many have strong opinions about, myself included, you cannot discount his incredible success. His determination and dedication to hitting his goals are unlike anyone I have ever read about. While I do not agree with all his methods or his personal touch, there were many things I could take from him for my career. Love or hate him, Musk dares to see how risk can lead to great reward.

As a kid growing up in South Africa, Elon Musk knew pain and learned how to survive it.

Elon Musk | Walter Isaacson

This biography was a page turner--no matter what you think of Elon Musk, his life has certainly been eventful, and Walter Isaacson does a masterful job of portraying his complex world of business ventures and relationships. The portrait that emerges depicts a brilliant, visionary, obsessive, erratic, relentless, arrogant, unstable man. His accomplishments are extraordinary; his empathy for individual humans (as opposed to Humanity) is minimal.

Musk is quite a character -- sometimes lovable and sometimes infuriating. If I ever met him I would be hard pressed to know whether to hug him or slap him. Just kidding. No doubt he‘s a genius with grand intentions so nothing but respect from me. ⬇️

suvata In this book, Walter Isaacson delves into the life and career of one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in technology and entrepreneurship, This biography provides an in-depth view of Elon Musk, portraying a man driven by a relentless quest to solve some of humanity‘s most pressing challenges. 4-Stars
