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.

"兰迪：你认为马斯克是个有爱心的人吗？
艾萨克森：不，他没有同情心，也不在乎任何人，正因为如此，他就是个混蛋，也不让人感到敬佩，但正如他争辩的那样，有时那些关心他人、感情丰富的人，他们往往不敢解雇别人，他们不够强硬，不够粗暴，但这可能会伤害整个公司，因为他们太渴望让面前的人喜欢他们。
"兰迪：书中有很多场景，让我们质疑马斯克的人性？他在SpaceX的一位前副手曾解释说，马斯克实际上非常关心宏观意义上的人类。
我知道自己不可能像他那样。我以前在CNN工作，也许我们应该更强硬一些，也许我应该对人更严厉些。但是你看看那些坚持刚硬的人，像是微软早期的比尔·盖茨（Bill Gates）、亚马逊早期的贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）以及马斯克，虽然我不一定敬佩他们，但这是他们能够取得成功的重要原因。这是因为他们把企业的成功置于首位，而不是对他们面前的人维持友好和亲切。
兰迪：书中曾有一个场景，马斯克看到特斯拉生产线上的某个机器人移动速度太慢，他对此感到不满，并要员工将机器人拆开，发现出厂设置让它只能以最高速度的20%运作，于是马斯克自己重写了程式。
艾萨克森：的确如此，他是在自己笔电上完成的。
兰迪：就是为了让机器人移动得更快，马斯克与你写过传记的其他人相比，他对支撑其宏伟愿景或想法细节了解得怎样？
艾萨克森：最让我惊讶的一件事是，我没有意识到他是个如此喜欢亲力亲为的工程师，他每天走在特斯拉或SpaceX的生产线上，并不断提出问题，当工程师无法给出满意答案时，马斯克仍会举机器人的例子，他把机器人速度调至最高速度的80%，这导致机器人无法继续工作，最后他不得不下调些速度，但马斯克说，除非你用力过猛，速度太快，有时甚至会把事情搞砸，否则你就无法确定正确的速度。
兰迪：马斯克现在经营或管理着大约6家公司？
艾萨克森：是的，实际上他有7家公司，这取决于你怎麽计算，因为新成立的xAI也是一家公司，甚至有些公司在内部还有子公司，比如特斯拉内部的Optimus和SpaceX内部的星链。"

传记作者真心话：“马斯克就是个混蛋.....”
新书《马斯克传》（Elon Musk）已经出版，其作者艾萨克森（Walter Isaacson）近期接受美国新媒体Quartz执行编辑兰迪（Heather Landy）专访时谈到诸多细节问题，包括：马斯克的异常行为能持续多久？还能指望他旗下SpaceX、特斯拉和X等实现他所追求的生产力提升，实现保护和维持人类生存的首要任务吗？马斯克是个有爱心的人吗？
在与马斯克以及其家庭成员、浪漫伴侣和亲信助手相处2年之后，艾萨克森对这位全球首富的评价是：“他就是个混蛋，因此并不让人感到敬佩，但这也正是他取得成功的关键。”
1、上帝亲自给他接生。
2、1岁刚会说话时，就说他将来是世界首富，并且保持首富至死，永不被人超越。
3、3岁时就立志灭掉美国民主党，但会在51岁时才开始支持共和党，前50年全部是投票给民主党
4、5岁时，就能预知自己是“人类大救星”，并且被一群华川粉、华右天天歌颂和赞美
5、6岁时号称自己是“天选之子”，智商超上帝10倍
6、7岁时不再要家里一分钱，就算上街要饭也不要家里的钱。白手起家，最终成为世界首富、
......
马斯克没有受过什么苦难，都是自己编造出来的。
马斯克的母亲(Maye)1948年出生于加拿大，2岁时随父母移居南非。1969年获得南非选美冠军(南非小姐)，第二年，即嫁给了一个大学刚毕业、没有工作过一天、毛没有长齐的纨绔子弟Errol Musk。
能娶得当年南非小姐的毛头小子，家庭财富在南非绝对在前3名，类似于王思聪(首富王健林儿子)。
圣母马姨(Maye)1979年离婚，并带着3名亲生子女(老大是马斯克）回到加拿大。马斯克受不了西方世界的苦，马上又回到了南非，过着全球没有几个人能过上的优越生活。
回到南非的马斯克，享受着所有川粉加起来还幸福的生活，也接受了他父亲的思想：一堆老婆，和一大堆同父异母、异父异母的兄弟姐妹一同生活。现在的马斯克私人生活，也和他父亲一样混乱不堪、乱七八糟。
马斯克在南非上大学期间，转学到加拿大，再转学到美帝。
他能买x。com、特斯拉、推特等，全是家里有矿的原因。
没有一个人能随随便便成功。他也不是白手起家。
艾萨克森：的确如此，他是在自己笔电上完成的。
