“Obsessed with space conquest”… a book reveals new secrets about Elon Musk

 A new book about the biography of billionaire Elon Musk will be released on Tuesday in the United States, showing the head of “Tesla” and “X” network (formerly Twitter) and “SpaceX” obsessed with space conquest, and having harsh methods of management devoid of any sense of empathy

The author Walter Isaacson, who has previously published other successful biographies, one of them about the co-founder of “Apple” Steve Jobs (2011), had an unprecedented opportunity to meet Musk, as he had meetings on several occasions with the controversial businessman

In excerpts from the book, which bears the name Elon Musk as its title, published by American media outlets that have seen it, the author notes that the businessman has an obsession with making humans inhabitants of “multiple planets” through his space company “SpaceX”

The author adds that Musk considers what is called “woke virus”, which is the active efforts to enhance the position of minorities and defend them, to herald the obstruction of colonizing other planets, especially Mars, because it is “against humanity in general” and must be “stopped”

Walter Isaacson describes the richest man in the world as a “big child” imprinted with his childhood, during which he was constantly subjected to harassment at school

Elon Musk tells his biographer about Asperger’s syndrome, which was diagnosed with him, which is one of the forms of autism, and admits that it is the cause of his weakness in “decoding the emotional signals” in his dealings with others

The author points out that Musk, whose origins go back to South Africa, “is attracted to the storm and drama”, and is subject to “emotional fluctuations that cannot be predicted” that are reflected in the way he manages the companies he heads

The book cites several examples of Elon Musk’s anger attacks, who gets angry when his employees do not meet his expectations and may not hesitate to humiliate them if they resist him

Musk’s former partner, singer Grimes, tells the author that the billionaire moves to the “demonic state” when he expresses his displeasure, considering it a state that “generates a lot of chaos”

Isaacson reveals that the Canadian artist has a third child from Elon Musk through surrogacy, while the former partners have not yet disclosed more than two children

Thus, the number of Elon Musk’s living known children rises to ten, including two from an official in his company “Neuralink” who donated sperm to her

The author quotes Shifon Zelis, the mother of these twins born in 2021, as saying that Musk “wants people to have children”
