He\u2064 ran out of money. His audacious ventures\u2063 appeared doomed. Everyone told Musk that his best chance was \u200cto try \u200cto save one \u2064company and let\u200d the other go out of business. But he refused to choose between Tesla \u2064and SpaceX.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;For me emotionally, this was like, you got two kids and you\u2019re\u2063 running out \u2064of food,&#8221; he told Isaacson. &#8220;You can give half to each kid, \u2064in\u200d which case they might both die, or give all \u200cthe food \u2062to one kid and \u200bincrease the chance that at least one\u2064 kid \u2063survives. I couldn\u2019t bring myself to decide that \u2062one was going to\u200b die, so I decided I had to give my\u2064 all \u2063to \u2064save both.&#8221; (Lest you think the analogy callous, consider that Musk had seen \u2064his first child die in infancy. &#8220;He cried like a wolf,&#8221; his mother told Isaacson. \u200c&#8221;Like a wolf.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>SpaceX was saved by a $20 \u200cmillion venture capital infusion from\u200d an \u2064unlikely source: \u200bthe PayPal founders who\u2019d kicked Musk out as CEO eight years earlier. &#8220;It \u2064was an \u200dinteresting\u200d exercise \u2062in\u200c karma,&#8221; he told Isaacson, a reward for not holding a grudge. The infusion would allow SpaceX to try\u200d one last launch\u2064 before running out\u2064 of cash.<\/p>\n<h3>A \u2063Wild Journey<\/h3>\n<p>First, however, the last remaining rocket had \u2064to get from\u2063 the\u200c Los Angeles factory to the launch\u200d site in the South Pacific, leading to one of the wilder\u2014though not the wildest\u2014stories in the book.\u200c To save \u200dweeks in shipping, Musk \u2064agreed to charter an Air Force C-17 transport\u200b plane. \u200dTwenty employees rode \u200calong in the \u200bhold. It\u2019s a good thing they were there.<\/p>\n<p>As\u200c the plane descended to refuel\u200c in Hawaii, the pressure outside the\u2062 rocket exceeded \u2063that inside.\u2063 The precious cargo began \u200cto collapse. One\u200d employee dashed to ask the pilot \u200dto halt the descent. Others attacked the rocket\u2019s wrapping with pocket knives, rushing to \u2064open the valves before \u200bthe plane\u200c had to resume its descent or run out of fuel. \u2062They saved the\u200b rocket, but it suffered a dented side and a\u2063 broken \u200cinterior part.<\/p>\n<p>Musk told \u2063them to fix\u2064 it at the\u200d launch site, deploying his personal jet to bring the replacement parts and launch director Tim Buzza. On site, Buzza estimated it would take five weeks to repair the rocket if\u200c they followed the procedures they\u2019d adopted to reduce risk after the first \u200cthree disasters.\u2063 Abandoning those checks would take the time down to\u2062 five days. &#8220;Go as fast as you can,&#8221; Musk said. Working frantically, they hit the five-day estimate. &#8220;It was unlike \u2062anything that the bloated \u200bcompanies in the aerospace industry could possibly have imagined,&#8221; Buzza told \u200bIsaacson. Musk\u2019s ruthless, risk-taking approach to getting things done triumphed\u2014for \u2062neither the first time nor the last.<\/p>\n<p>The all-or-nothing launch\u2062 went perfectly. &#8220;Falcon 1 \u2063had made history as \u2062the\u2062 first privately built\u200d rocket \u2062to launch from the \u2064ground and\u200c reach orbit,&#8221; Isaacson writes. &#8220;Musk and his \u200dsmall crew of\u2062 just 500 employees\u2063 (Boeing\u2019s \u2062comparable division\u200b had 50,000) had\u2063 designed the system \u200dfrom the ground up and done all the construction \u2064on its own.&#8221; In late \u200bDecember, Musk got news \u2062that SpaceX would be awarded\u2062 a $1.6 billion NASA contract to \u2064make 12 round trips to the space station. Unlike NASA\u2019s traditional contractors, \u2064SpaceX &#8220;would get paid only if and when\u200c they succeeded. There were\u2062 no subsidies \u200bor cost-plus contracts.&#8221; The company was saved\u2062 and a new era in\u2062 American space\u200d exploration began.<\/p>\n<h3>Tesla&#8217;s Perils<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tesla\u2019s perils continued. \u2063The \u2063company was bleeding cash, paying bills with the deposits customers had put down on future Roadsters. Neither the company nor Musk had enough money \u200cto make the year-end payroll. On Christmas Eve, existing investors agreed to fund \u200ba new equity round of $20 million, enough to keep the company going for a\u2063 few more\u200b months. &#8220;Musk broke\u200d down in\u2062 tears,&#8221; Isaacson\u200d writes. &#8220;\u2018Had it gone the other way, \u200cTesla would have been dead,\u2019 he says, \u2018and maybe too the dream of electric\u200d cars for\u2063 many years.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In January, Musk dazzled executives\u2063 from Daimler by demonstrating an electric model of the German company\u2019s Smart car\u2014a Mexican model with its gasoline engine replaced with \u200ca Roadster motor\u2063 and battery pack. \u200bA few months later Daimler agreed to buy about 9\u200c percent of\u2063 Tesla for $50 million. &#8220;If Daimler had not invested in Tesla at that time, we would have died,&#8221; Musk told Isaacson. More substantial, if less critical,\u2062 was\u2064 a $465 \u200cmillion loan from the \u2064Department\u2062 of Energy, whose first check\u200b arrived in early 2010. Tesla repaid the\u2062 loan and interest\u200c in 2013.<\/p>\n<h3>A Test of Survival<\/h3>\n<p>Its finances secured, Tesla\u2019s next survival test came in July 2017, with the introduction of its relatively \u2064affordable sedan, the Model 3. To become a sustainable enterprise, Musk calculated\u2062 that Tesla needed \u2064to produce 5,000 Model 3s a week. That first meant that its battery plant had to\u200c reach the same goal. The man who designed the battery production line told Musk the target was\u2063 insane. The best they could do\u200c would be 1,800. &#8220;If you\u2019re right, Tesla\u2019s dead,&#8221; \u200bsaid Musk. &#8220;We\u200c either have 5,000 cars a week\u200b or \u200cwe can\u2019t cover our\u200b costs.&#8221;\u2064 In a characteristic\u2063 Musk move, he replaced the skeptic with \u2063a \u2063more gung-ho executive, brought in his most trusted lieutenants, and\u200d put himself in charge of production, first at the battery plant, then at \u2063the car factory.<\/p>\n<p>Thus\u200d began &#8220;production hell,&#8221; a period \u200cof intense, round-the-clock work that Musk \u2063seems to crave. On just a few hours of sleep a \u2064night, often on\u2064 the \u200cfactory floor, he and his\u200c hardcore associates critiqued \u2064each and every production step, looking for ways to\u2064 speed up the line. Musk admitted he\u2019d automated\u2064 too much.<\/p>\n<p>By May 2018, the plant was up to\u2064 3,500 \u200dcars a week\u2014a\u200b huge \u2063gain \u200dbut well short of the goal. The only way to get to 5,000 was \u2062to add capacity. But Tesla had neither the\u2062 time nor the\u2064 planning permission to \u2062build more factory \u200dspace. Borrowing a technique Musk remembered from World War II plane production and exploiting \u200ba zoning\u2062 provision\u200d allowing \u2064a &#8220;temporary vehicle repair facility,&#8221;\u2064 workers cleared\u2063 an old parking lot behind the\u2063 plant and set up an enormous tent. A thousand \u200cfeet long and 150\u2062 feet \u200bwide,\u200b it housed a new assembly line. From idea to execution \u200dtook just three weeks. A little \u2063before 2 a.m. on\u2063 July\u2064 1,\u200b the week\u2019s 5,000th Model 3 left the factory. &#8220;If \u200cconventional\u200c thinking \u2062makes your\u2064 mission impossible,&#8221; Musk told a \u200dvisiting reporter, &#8220;then unconventional thinking is necessary.&#8221; Through relentless effort and \u2063creative \u200cproblem solving, Musk \u2063and his team had again defied the odds.<\/p>\n<h3>A Tragic Turn<\/h3>\n<p>Within days,\u2063 however, Musk\u2019s brother Kimbal found his honeymoon interrupted by an urgent email. &#8220;You\u200b have to\u2064 come back right away,&#8221; it \u2063said. \u200c&#8221;Elon is having a meltdown.&#8221; \u200bA decade after his &#8220;most painful year,&#8221; Musk experienced what\u200c he called his most agonizing one. \u2062In 2018, \u2062the\u2063 agony was self-inflicted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Musk had been the type of person who could pause and \u200dsavor success, he would have noticed that he\u200c had just brought the world\u2063 into the era of electric vehicles, \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/apply-now-billionaire-seeks-eight-companions-for-free-ride-on-spacex-rocket-to-the-moon\/\" title=\"Apply Now! Billionaire Seeks Eight Companions For Free Ride On SpaceX Rocket To The Moon\">commercial space flight<\/a>,\u2063 and reusable rockets,&#8221; writes \u200bIsaacson. &#8220;Each was a big deal. But for Musk, good \u200dtimes are unsettling.&#8221; That\u2019s an understatement. Musk craves stress and drama. He can\u2019t\u2062 cope with success. If he doesn\u2019t face enough genuine obstacles, he impulsively \u2063acts to\u200b create\u200c trouble for himself.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Musk baselessly called a cave explorer in Thailand &#8220;pedo guy,&#8221; driving down Tesla\u2019s stock\u200c price and\u200c landing himself in \u200ccourt. He declared he was going \u2062to take\u200b Tesla private and claimed, inaccurately,\u2062 that he\u200b had secured\u200d funding. The Securities and Exchange \u2062Commission charged \u2064him with fraud. He gave a <em>New\u2062 York Times<\/em> \u2063 business reporter a long, emotional interview, fueling concerns about his health. To reassure shareholders, he\u2062 then\u2063 went on Joe\u2063 Rogan\u2019s \u2062podcast, where he rambled for two-and-a-half \u200chours and lit up\u2064 a \u2063cigar-style joint of marijuana \u200dand tobacco. More bad press and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/svb-collapse-first-republic-banks-rating-slashed-to-junk-status\/\" title=\"SVB collapse: First Republic Bank\u2019s rating slashed to junk status\">falling stock prices<\/a> followed. Top\u200d Tesla \u200dexecutives, including cofounder JB Straubel, began to flee.<\/p>\n<h3>A Lesson Learned<\/h3>\n<p>Musk\u2019s sanity, and \u2064with it his companies\u2019 fortunes, was eventually saved by two new problems: designing what became the futuristic-looking Cybertruck \u2064and radically simplifying the satellites that would provide Starlink\u2019s internet service. That the truck was years away from production only made \u2064the problem more therapeutic. Nothing calms Musk\u2019s \u200cmind more than contemplating the future. At SpaceX \u200bevery \u200bweek included \u2064a meeting devoted to planning life on Mars. &#8220;When Musk gets stressed, he often retreats into the future,&#8221; \u2062Isaacson \u2064writes. But the turmoil of 2018 foreshadowed what was \u200cto come.<\/p>\n<h3>A Tragic Fall<\/h3>\n<p>In its final \u2062third, the\u200c story shifts from epic romance to tragedy. The once-triumphant hero faces \u200ba \u200cdownfall \u200dprecipitated by \u2063a fatal flaw\u2014in this case, a form of hubris all too common among brilliant technologists, especially when they\u2019ve gotten rich.\u200b Musk confuses intelligence \u200bwith knowledge and engineering with, well, pretty much everything. He assumed that his gifts for understanding materials and reworking manufacturing processes qualified him to run an influential but stubbornly\u200d unprofitable media company.<\/p>\n<p>With $10 billion burning a hole in his pocket and increasing concerns about the &#8220;woke mind virus,&#8221;\u200c he started buying \u2062shares\u2063 in Twitter. He amassed a 9 percent stake, joined the board, then just a day later declared his intention to buy the company. Friends and family warned that \u200dTwitter would be a dangerous distraction\u200b from his other work. But Musk persisted.\u2064 How \u2064hard could it be? &#8220;I don\u2019t think from a cognitive \u2063standpoint it\u2019s nearly as hard as SpaceX or Tesla,&#8221; he told Isaacson. &#8220;It\u2019s \u2064not like getting to Mars. It\u2019s not as hard as changing the entire\u2064 industrial base of Earth to\u200b sustainable\u200c energy.&#8221; Musk\u2019s grandiose dreams and hard-won successes made him underestimate\u2014and\u2063 misunderstand\u2014the challenge. \u200dCognitive power wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>One \u2064of Musk\u2019s maxims is, \u200b&#8221;The only rules are the ones dictated by \u200cthe laws of physics. Everything else is a recommendation.&#8221; \u200cAs long as he is dealing with \u2062materials and manufacturing, it\u2019s a useful heuristic. But it \u2064doesn\u2019t apply to social relations, which means it\u200d didn\u2019t apply to Twitter. If you pay way\u2064 too much, don\u2019t understand advertising, haven\u2019t\u200c considered the difficult tradeoffs between freewheeling speech and a platform people want \u200cto use, don\u2019t appreciate why people value features like short\u2062 posts or blue checks, and\u2064 generally have no clue about human interactions, you might as well \u200cbe trying to go faster than the speed of light.<\/p>\n<p>Musk was correct \u2064that Twitter was dramatically overstaffed. He \u2064was correct that\u200d it had lost the trust of many people on the right. But he had no\u200c idea how to make \u2064it work. &#8220;Twitter is a tech company, a programming company,&#8221; Musk told his friend Ari \u2062Emanuel, rejecting an \u2064offer \u2062to have Emanuel\u2019s agency \u2064run the place. He was wrong. \u2064Good software may be necessary to a successful media platform, but\u2062 it is neither central nor sufficient.\u200c Musk squandered billions on Twitter, renamed X, without improving its \u2062credibility \u200cor its financial\u200c prospects.<\/p>\n<h3>The Future of Musk<\/h3>\n<p>Musk\u2019s story isn\u2019t over, of course. \u2064In the \u2062long run, the Twitter fiasco may prove \u2064a mere detour\u2014an expensive learning experience rather than\u200d a tragic fall. Information from its feeds\u200c may, as he hopes, combine with data from Tesla\u2019s cameras to fuel valuable new forms of \u2064artificial \u200dintelligence. Or its mercurial\u200d owner may decide that, \u200blike SolarCity\u2019s rooftop \u2062panels, the platform\u2063 doesn\u2019t interest\u200c him after\u200c all.<\/p>\n<p>Isaacson ends\u2063 his book with the \u2063test launch of Starship, \u2064a\u200c huge reusable rocket\u200b designed \u200dto get 100 passengers to Mars. Musk envisions a fleet of a thousand. &#8220;It\u2019s worth\u2064 keeping\u2063 in mind as you go through all \u200bthe tribulations,&#8221;\u2064 he \u200dtold the engineers\u200d before liftoff in\u200d April, &#8220;that the \u200cthing you are working on is the coolest\u2064 fucking thing on\u200c Earth. By a lot. What\u2019s \u200dthe second coolest? This is\u200b far cooler than whatever\u200c is\u2064 second coolest.&#8221; (Certainly not\u2064 Twitter.) As expected, the rocket exploded before reaching orbit. It was intended as the\u2063 first\u2063 of many trials to come\u2014a dramatic but\u2064 useful failure on the way to eventual success, \u200da symbol of the Elon\u2064 Musk way.<\/p>\n<p>Isaacson is ambivalent about \u200bMusk\u2019s personality,\u2062 as any honest \u200bobserver would be. He acknowledges the \u2062difficult truth\u2062 that his protagonist\u2019s \u2063achievements \u200cand drive are inextricable from his dark\u200d side. &#8220;Sometimes great innovators are \u2064risk-seeking \u200dman-children who resist potty training,&#8221; \u2063he concludes. &#8220;They can be reckless, cringeworthy, sometimes\u200d even toxic. They can also be crazy. Crazy enough\u2063 to think they can change the \u200cworld.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s \u2062as \u2064close\u200b as\u2063 he gets to\u200b stating \u200dthe book\u2019s implicit \u200cargument: that by tolerating a \u2064man who disregards social norms of\u2064 empathy \u2062and balance, allowing him to take enormous risks \u200dand reap concordant rewards, we make \u2062the world a better place. We might not want to work\u200c for Elon Musk, marry him, or be him. But\u200d if we\u2019re wise, neither will we try to eliminate opportunities for\u200c people\u200c like him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Elon Musk<\/em><br \/>  by Walter Isaacson<br \/> Simon \u2062&#038; Schuster, 688 pp., $35\t<\/p>\n<p><em>Virginia Postrel is the author of<\/em> \u200b The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World <em>and a \u200dcontributing editor for<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/worksinprogress.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Works in Progress<\/span><\/a> <em>magazine.
