Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson review - arrested development
Walter Isaacson's insight-free doorstop makes at least one thing
clear: the richest man in the world has a lot of growing up to do
Who or what is to blame for Elon Musk? Famed biographer of
intellectually muscular men Walter Isaacson's dull, insight-free
doorstop of a book casts a wide but porous net in search of an answer. Throughout the tome, Musk's confidantes, co-workers, ex-wives and
girlfriends present a DSM-5's worth of psychiatric and other theories
for the "demon moods" that darken the lives of his subordinates, and increasingly the rest of us, among them bipolar disorder, OCD, and the
form of autism formerly known as Asperger's. But the idea that any of
these conditions are what makes Musk an "asshole" (another frequently
used descriptor of him in the book), while also making him successful
in his many pursuits, is an insult to all those affected by them who
manage to change the world without leaving a trail of wounded people,
failing social networks and general despair behind them. The answer
then must lie elsewhere.
