Wilson, who has stayed out of the public eye until now, told NBC News that Musk's comments went too far. Wilson told NBC News the book — which described her as being a supporter of "radical Marxism" via a quote from Musk's sister-in-law — was inaccurate and unfair. Isaacson also referred to Wilson by her middle name, Jenna, in the book, Wilson said. The author told NBC News that he reached out to Wilson's family members in an effort to reach her.

It sounded like a story ripped from a narco thriller: One of the biggest drug lords in Mexico was lured onto an airplane, flown across the border and presented to American federal agents by the son of his former partner in crime. As improbable as it may seem, that is exactly what appears to have happened on Thursday evening, when a Beechcraft King Air turboprop landed at a small municipal airport outside El Paso, and off stepped one of the most wanted men in Mexico: Ismael Zambada García, a founder of the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel. Mr. Zambada García, known as El Mayo, had for decades evaded capture by both Mexican and American officials, living a life of luxurious simplicity in the mountains of Sinaloa — despite the $15 million U.S. bounty on his head. But in the end, U.S. officials said, he was betrayed by an unlikely foe: a son of his closest criminal ally, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the infamous drug lord known as El Chapo, who is now serving a life sentence in an American federal prison.

☆ The personal cybersecurity concierge is a new perk, and need, among the wealthy

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting wealthy individuals, making cybersecurity concierges a new must-have for the rich and their families, including executives. While companies are spending heavily on cybersecurity, personal and home devices are generally less protected, making them easier to crack. And despite their sizeable assets and growing threat of cyberattacks, family offices and wealthy families don't think of themselves as targets because hackings are rarely publicized. JPMorgan Private Bank offers cybersecurity help to its ultra-high net worth clients, along with lifestyle and travel services. "I think one of the misconceptions is that — particularly for family offices — 'we're small and nobody notices us.'

Jessica Cuevas loved her job as a college counselor at a high school. She had been relying on her mother for help, but her parents have been spending more time in Mexico, leaving her without an affordable and reliable child care option. Ms. Cuevas, who is 35 and lives in Chicago, works part time from home for an education nonprofit, though the work is sporadic and the pay is inconsistent. She wants a full-time job — in part so she and her husband can buy a bigger house — but she is concerned that the expense of child care would wipe out any financial upside. “I feel like right now, considering the economy, considering just the cost of living, we feel stuck,” she said.

Wilson, 20, in an exclusive interview with NBC News, responded to comments that Musk made Monday about her and her transgender identity. She told NBC News that at the time, she was surprised by the media attention to the court filing, which she submitted when she was 18. Wilson told NBC News that those anecdotes are not true, though she said she did act stereotypically feminine in other ways as a child.

I now realize this mother was an early adopter of parenting scripts, something I had never heard of at the time, though they have now become ubiquitous. AdvertisementWords matter when talking to kidsThe spoken message behind parenting scripts is that parents can optimize how they speak to children, supporting their children's development and validating their feelings. The unspoken message behind parenting scripts is that much of parents' reflexive language toward their children is pernicious. Children need their parents to be congruent in their interactions, even if they might misspeak from time to time. Parents need to trust that, at the end of the day, their hearts are in the right place — so much so that they may even want to speak from it.

☆ Prince Harry Says Struggle With U.K. Tabloids Deepened Family Rift

Prince Harry’s marathon quest against Britain’s tabloids produced a “monumental victory” in the courts, he said in a TV interview that will air Thursday, but it was a “central piece” of the bitter rift between him and other members of the British royal family. Speaking for the first time since winning hundreds of thousands of pounds in damages from Mirror Group Newspapers over his claims that it had wrongfully invaded his privacy, Harry, 39, said that he had been vindicated by the judge’s ruling, even if the price to his relations with his family was high. “I’ve made it very clear that this is something that needs to be done,” Harry said in excerpts released by ITV News, part of an hourlong documentary about the phone-hacking scandal. But he added, “It would be nice if we, you know, did it as a family.”Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, did not explain exactly how his legal battle had further ruptured relations with his father or brother, Prince William. In his memoir, “Spare,” he attributed the rift to multiple causes, including his family’s treatment of his wife, Meghan Markle, a biracial American former actress.
