Isaacson describes Musk stalking the factory floor of Tesla, his electric car company, issuing orders on the fly.
“If I don’t make decisions,” Musk explained, “we die.”By “we,” Musk presumably meant Tesla in that instance.
But Musk likes to speak of his business interests in superhero terms, so it’s sometimes hard to be sure.
At one point, Isaacson asks why Musk is so offended by anything he deems politically correct, and Musk, as usual, has to dial it up to 11.
Isaacson has ably conveyed that Musk doesn’t truly like pushback.
