“I actually asked Ashlee Vance not to write the book several times. Inevitably, some things are wrong and then those errors are repeated for years.”
“Did you ever read Ashley Vance's biography on Elon Musk, the first one? He did a book on Elon four or five years ago and my take away from that was that he just did this a little too early. I learned a lot but Elon's still in the middle of disrupting the world which is why this Walter Isaacson one is great, because it's now and a lot more has happened in the last four or five years, and you can really start to see his impact on the world. This felt like a more appropriate time to do a biography on Elon.”
