When everyone — include you — jokes that you have a unavowed volcano lair , it ’s in all likelihood more than likely some other off - colouring input might find their agency out of your rima oris . A new script about Elon Musk comprise at least two dozen such statements . If even a third of these are true , he ’s likely even smart than we thought .
Ashlee Vance is the writer of the superbly well - timedElon Musk : Tesla , SpaceX and the Quest for a Fantastic Future , the young book out this week about everyone ’s favourite battery - Tarawa ’ billionaire . The Washington Post give it a read and plucked out22 unbelievable Musky nuggetsfrom his employees , ex - married woman , and parents ( who , coincidentally , were distressed about how much metre he spend staring off into quad — space!—and took out his adenoid glands thinking it would improve his earreach ) .
We know Musk has a pretty decent sense of humor , so some of these might be a small tongue - in - cheek . The one account that everyone seems to be sharing right now is the one I kinda do not conceive ? Musk supposedlyreamed an employeevia electronic mail for skipping a piece of work event to be present at the giving birth of his child ( take over it was a world he got insane at and not a woman ) . But a few other stories just sound like distinctive Musk we ’ve come to know and love .
“ I do think of him as the Terminator . He interlace his regard on to something and state , ‘ It shall be mine . ’ Bit by number , he make headway me over . ” — Justine Musk , Elon ’s ex - married woman [ I think “ It shall be mine ” is actually attributed toWayne Campbell , but ok ]
“ I believe the second sentence out of his mouth was , ‘ I opine a lot about electric cars . ’ And then he turned to me and said , ‘ Do you call back about electric machine ? ’ ” — Christie Nicholson , who met Musk at a political party
“ He ’s kind of roofless , which I think is sort of funny . He ’ll e - mail and say , ‘ I do n’t know where to continue tonight . Can I come over ? ’ I have n’t yield him a paint or anything yet . ” — Google ’s Larry Page
“ Everybody around here has slide in their lobby . I ’m actually wondering about putting in a roller coaster — like a functional roller coaster at the factory in Fremont . You ’d get in , and it would take you around [ the ] manufacturing plant but also up and down . Who else has a roller coaster ? … It would probably be really expensive , but I like the approximation of it . ” — Elon Musk
“ I ’d see him before , but did worry that maybe he could have an off sidereal day . Still , I thought , he would perchance hit one gonad but not both . ” — Elon Musk
What do you think ? Were his words get out of circumstance or is this the Real Musk ™ ? Head on over toread the restandlet us know if you ’ve gotten any similarly frightening emailsfrom your knob .
