Yup. Jobs was dying and wouldn't see the final result, so Isaacson could be relatively unbiased (and his daughter Lisa's book pretty much lined up with Isaacson's)
But evidently, Isaacson is completely Muskpilled. Ugh.
Right! Long but incredibly amazing thread by @niedermeyer.io with so much useful info. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read the same copypasta story from Musk fanboys that say he only had $50 when he came to the US. Even his own dad says that’s not true. https://bsky.app/profile/niedermeyer.io/post/3lbunai47cc2l
If I weren't about 50 podcasts behind on my listening, I'd add the Dollop - have heard good things. But now that I added the Memory Palace and Weird Little Guys, so I've only made the backlog worse.

Officially 1965 - 1978.
I would imagine there were Nazi sympathizers in Canada in the 1930s and 40s, just as there were in many countries, and he was probably part of that considering.
He also says, essentially, that Musk hid he beliefs when he first got here and is now embracing them again by supporting Trump and moving further and further right.

The man who raised me *after reading Isaacson’s book*: Wow this guy has a really interesting life and he’s really smart
But evidently, Isaacson is completely Muskpilled. Ugh.

Both raised in apartheid
BtB and Skeptics Guide to the Universe are my must-listens.
But I also have WAY too much true crime. I'm such a female stereotype

Like when Homelander blasted that guy and the crowd was silent for a five count and then exploded in applause and cheering.
