Farooq came to work for Musk at his first company, Zip2, but quit just six weeks into the job. Farooq told biographer Walter Isaacson that he soon "found himself in fights with Musk." In 1995, Musk was in the midst of getting his first company, Zip2, off the ground with his brother, Kimbal. "We completely entered a zone for hours until we were exhausted," Farooq told Isaacson. But working under the notoriously intense Musk was too much for Farooq and he lasted just six weeks at Zip2 before quitting.

Kimbal Musk bit Elon Musk and "tore off a hunk of flesh" off his hand during a fight in the 1990s. Elon Musk had to go to the emergency room for stitches and a tetanus jab. Kimbal Musk bit his brother because he thought Elon Musk was about to punch him in the face, the book said. "When we had intense stress, we just didn't notice anyone else," Kimbal Musk told Isaacson. Kimbal Musk, just over a year younger than Elon Musk, also moved in with Errol around four years later.
