The new book “Elon Musk” has been published, and its author Walter Isaacson recently discussed many details in an interview with Heather Landy, the executive editor of American media Quartz. These details include: how long can Musk’s unusual behavior last? Can we expect his companies, SpaceX, Tesla, and X, to achieve the productivity improvements he pursues and fulfill the primary mission of protecting and maintaining human survival? Is Musk a compassionate person?
After spending two years with Musk, his family members, romantic partners, and trusted aides, Isaacson’s evaluation of the world’s richest man is, “He is an asshole, which is not admirable, but it is also the key to his success.”
1) elaborate to extrapolate the pros and cons of Elon Musk characters?
Elon Musk’s character can be seen as having both pros and cons. On the positive side, Musk is known for his relentless drive and ambition. He has demonstrated a remarkable ability to think big and set audacious goals, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in industries like space exploration and electric vehicles. His determination and willingness to take risks have led to groundbreaking advancements in technology.
Musk’s ability to inspire and lead teams is another positive aspect of his character. He has been able to attract top talent to his companies and create a culture of innovation and excellence. Musk’s vision and charisma have helped garner support and investment for his ventures, leading to their growth and success.
However, Musk’s character also has its drawbacks. His demanding and sometimes abrasive management style has been a subject of criticism. He is known to be highly demanding of his employees, often setting aggressive targets and expecting them to be met. This can create a high-pressure work environment that may not be conducive to the well-being of his employees.
Musk’s impulsive and sometimes controversial behavior on social media has also raised concerns. His tweets and public statements have sometimes landed him in legal trouble or caused volatility in the stock market. Critics argue that his lack of filter and tendency to make bold claims without full consideration of the consequences can undermine his credibility and the stability of his companies.
Despite these flaws, many admire Musk for his dedication to addressing global challenges. His pursuit of sustainable energy solutions and efforts to advance space exploration have earned him recognition as a visionary entrepreneur. Musk’s push for technological progress has the potential to shape industries and contribute to a more sustainable future.
In summary, Elon Musk’s character has its strengths in terms of ambition, leadership, and innovation, but it also has its weaknesses in terms of management style and impulsive behavior. Ultimately, whether one admires or criticizes Musk depends on their perspective on his accomplishments, actions, and the impact of his ventures.
Beyond his role as a CEO, Elon Musk’s background as a frontier engineer has played a significant role in his ability to manage details. Musk’s deep understanding of the technical aspects of the industries he operates in, such as aerospace and automotive, has allowed him to make informed decisions and drive innovation at a granular level.
As a frontier engineer, Musk is intimately involved in the design and development processes of his companies’ products. He is known to be heavily involved in the technical aspects, often immersing himself in the engineering challenges faced by his teams. This hands-on approach enables him to identify potential issues, propose solutions, and make critical adjustments to optimize performance and efficiency.
Musk’s engineering background also gives him a unique perspective when it comes to problem-solving. He has a knack for breaking down complex challenges into manageable tasks and finding creative solutions. This ability to think analytically and strategically allows him to tackle intricate problems, whether it’s designing reusable rockets for SpaceX or improving battery technology for Tesla.
Moreover, Musk’s engineering expertise enables him to communicate effectively with his technical teams. He can dive into technical discussions, ask insightful questions, and provide guidance based on his own knowledge and experience. This level of involvement fosters a sense of collaboration and empowers his teams to push boundaries and achieve ambitious goals.
Furthermore, Musk’s hands-on approach and attention to detail extend beyond engineering. He is known to be involved in various aspects of his businesses, including manufacturing processes, supply chain management, and even customer experience. This level of involvement allows him to have a holistic understanding of his companies’ operations and make informed decisions that drive efficiency and quality.
In summary, Elon Musk’s background as a frontier engineer equips him with the technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail necessary to manage intricate aspects of his businesses. His ability to immerse himself in the details and make informed decisions at a granular level has been instrumental in driving innovation and achieving success in industries that demand a deep understanding of engineering principles.

"蘭迪：你認為馬斯克是個有愛心的人嗎？
艾薩克森：不，他沒有同情心，也不在乎任何人，正因為如此，他就是個混蛋，也不讓人感到敬佩，但正如他爭辯的那樣，有時那些關心他人、感情豐富的人，他們往往不敢解雇別人，他們不夠強硬，不夠粗暴，但這可能會傷害整個公司，因為他們太渴望讓麵前的人喜歡他們。
"蘭迪：書中有很多場景，讓我們質疑馬斯克的人性？他在SpaceX的一位前副手曾解釋說，馬斯克實際上非常關心宏觀意義上的人類。
我知道自己不可能像他那樣。我以前在CNN工作，也許我們應該更強硬一些，也許我應該對人更嚴厲些。但是你看看那些堅持剛硬的人，像是微軟早期的比爾·蓋茨（Bill Gates）、亞馬遜早期的貝索斯（Jeff Bezos）以及馬斯克，雖然我不一定敬佩他們，但這是他們能夠取得成功的重要原因。這是因為他們把企業的成功置於首位，而不是對他們麵前的人維持友好和親切。
蘭迪：書中曾有一個場景，馬斯克看到特斯拉生產線上的某個機器人移動速度太慢，他對此感到不滿，並要員工將機器人拆開，發現出廠設置讓它隻能以最高速度的20%運作，於是馬斯克自己重寫了程式。
艾薩克森：的確如此，他是在自己筆電上完成的。
蘭迪：就是為了讓機器人移動得更快，馬斯克與你寫過傳記的其他人相比，他對支撐其宏偉願景或想法細節了解得怎樣？
艾薩克森：最讓我驚訝的一件事是，我沒有意識到他是個如此喜歡親力親為的工程師，他每天走在特斯拉或SpaceX的生產線上，並不斷提出問題，當工程師無法給出滿意答案時，馬斯克仍會舉機器人的例子，他把機器人速度調至最高速度的80%，這導致機器人無法繼續工作，最後他不得不下調些速度，但馬斯克說，除非你用力過猛，速度太快，有時甚至會把事情搞砸，否則你就無法確定正確的速度。
蘭迪：馬斯克現在經營或管理著大約6家公司？
艾薩克森：是的，實際上他有7家公司，這取決於你怎麽計算，因為新成立的xAI也是一家公司，甚至有些公司在內部還有子公司，比如特斯拉內部的Optimus和SpaceX內部的星鏈。"

傳記作者真心話：“馬斯克就是個混蛋.....”
新書《馬斯克傳》（Elon Musk）已經出版，其作者艾薩克森（Walter Isaacson）近期接受美國新媒體Quartz執行編輯蘭迪（Heather Landy）專訪時談到諸多細節問題，包括：馬斯克的異常行為能持續多久？還能指望他旗下SpaceX、特斯拉和X等實現他所追求的生產力提升，實現保護和維持人類生存的首要任務嗎？馬斯克是個有愛心的人嗎？
在與馬斯克以及其家庭成員、浪漫伴侶和親信助手相處2年之後，艾薩克森對這位全球首富的評價是：“他就是個混蛋，因此並不讓人感到敬佩，但這也正是他取得成功的關鍵。”
1、上帝親自給他接生。
2、1歲剛會說話時，就說他將來是世界首富，並且保持首富至死，永不被人超越。
3、3歲時就立誌滅掉美國民主黨，但會在51歲時才開始支持共和黨，前50年全部是投票給民主黨
4、5歲時，就能預知自己是“人類大救星”，並且被一群華川粉、華右天天歌頌和讚美
5、6歲時號稱自己是“天選之子”，智商超上帝10倍
6、7歲時不再要家裏一分錢，就算上街要飯也不要家裏的錢。白手起家，最終成為世界首富、
......
馬斯克沒有受過什麽苦難，都是自己編造出來的。
馬斯克的母親(Maye)1948年出生於加拿大，2歲時隨父母移居南非。1969年獲得南非選美冠軍(南非小姐)，第二年，即嫁給了一個大學剛畢業、沒有工作過一天、毛沒有長齊的紈絝子弟Errol Musk。
能娶得當年南非小姐的毛頭小子，家庭財富在南非絕對在前3名，類似於王思聰(首富王健林兒子)。
聖母馬姨(Maye)1979年離婚，並帶著3名親生子女(老大是馬斯克）回到加拿大。馬斯克受不了西方世界的苦，馬上又回到了南非，過著全球沒有幾個人能過上的優越生活。
回到南非的馬斯克，享受著所有川粉加起來還幸福的生活，也接受了他父親的思想：一堆老婆，和一大堆同父異母、異父異母的兄弟姐妹一同生活。現在的馬斯克私人生活，也和他父親一樣混亂不堪、亂七八糟。
馬斯克在南非上大學期間，轉學到加拿大，再轉學到美帝。
他能買x。com、特斯拉、推特等，全是家裏有礦的原因。
沒有一個人能隨隨便便成功。他也不是白手起家。
艾薩克森：的確如此，他是在自己筆電上完成的。
