00:00 Elon Musk's bombshell biography hits the shelves.
00:04 Biographer Walter Isaacson, who describes Musk as a "man-child," details the CEO's
00:10 journey from a bullied kid in South Africa to the tech billionaire he is today.
00:14 Isaacson got widespread access to Musk for over two years to write the book.
00:19 He also explores Musk's family life, various business ventures, the Twitter takeover, his
00:24 struggles with Asperger's, concerns about AI, SBF, and so much more.
00:30 There's also gems like this quote from Musk, "Unless the woke-mind virus, which is fundamentally
00:35 anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human in general, is stopped, civilization will never
00:40 become multi-planetary."
00:42 What do we think about civilization becoming multi-planetary?
00:44 Sounds like this is going to be quite the story about Elon.
00:48 It sounds like he got a lot of really interesting access.
00:50 I'm curious to hear about his kids and all these other random...
00:53 I want to hear about his ketamine habits.
00:55 His ketamine habits?
00:56 Yeah, he's been doing a lot of it, I guess, casually, right?
00:58 At parties and stuff, supposed to help him.
00:59 Which we now know is a horse tranquilizer.
01:01 Yep, yep.
01:02 But, yeah, I'm excited for this to come out.
01:05 I mean, Walter is like an OG in the tech reporting journalism world, so I think there's no better
01:09 person to kind of tell this story than him.
01:11 So yeah, it's exciting to see...
01:13 "Man-child," though, it doesn't seem like Walter likes Elon.
01:18 I mean, I just think it's also, like, accurate.
01:20 I mean, come on.
01:21 We see his behavior on the internet.
01:22 I mean, he's kind of like you in that sense.
01:24 And as you read through this, it's kind of like, "Huh, a lot of this sounds like you.
01:27 Struggles with Asperger's, twins, okay."
01:31 You're telling me my parents are lying to me?
01:34 I should get a check from the government, honestly.
01:36 I've got three days of absolute turmoil I went through.
01:40 Anyways, what's the next article, Brian?
01:43 Bring it up.
01:44 I don't want to sit with my thoughts anymore.
01:45 (upbeat music)
