The immediate problem I’m having with this Musk bio (on page 7 of 615) is that (1) he’s a sociopathic serial liar, (2) Isaacson seems disinterested in seriously investigating whether anything he says is true. Like, “wow, his childhood sounds unbelievably difficult. …SHOULD I believe this???”

i almost lost it at the opening anecdote. i was ready to give up on reviewing the book and just go investigative reporter on him. however, the majority of what comes after lines up pretty closely with other accounts. still too credulous but less of a fabulist vibe at least.
