Four takeaways from Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk

CNN  —  “You’ll never be successful,” Errol Musk in 1989 told his 17-year-old son Elon, who was then preparing to fly from South Africa to Canada to find relatives and a college education. That’s one of the scenes Walter Isaacson paints in his 670-page biography of Elon Musk, who is now the richest person who ever lived. The biography allows readers new glimpses into the private life of the entrepreneur who popularized electric vehicles for the masses and landed rocket boosters hurtling back to Earth so they could be reused.

It was clear the two men didn’t like each other, but now Paul is ratcheting it up to another level—he’s officially filing a criminal referral with the Department of Justice alleging that the good doctor flat-out lied to him in sworn testimony. This directly contradicts everything he said in committee hearing to me, denying absolutely that they funded any gain of function, and it’s absolutely a lie. That’s why I sent an official criminal referral to the DOJ. https://t.co/Y191SmMiIr — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) July 29, 2023 The senator said the email in th...
