#2I guess there are some true facts in this book but I am overall very skeptic of the picture the author is trying to paint or the conclusions he is drawing from those facts.
For example, the book says Elon wanted to be Apple's CEO post Tesla acquisition on a phone call. But Elon said it many times over the years that he rather spend his time on engineering and design over management.
Edit: Also Tim Cook mentioned in an interview that he never spoke with Elon Musk.

Would what Elon says in public be enough to refute? He does say many things (https://elonmusk.today)

The waterfall of misinformation:
1) Author fabricates "facts" for his book
2) Tabloids copy those "facts" and add filler to fabricate outrage
3) Twitter outrage specialists pick these "facts" up and retweet
4) Other people form their opinion based on 1), 2), 3)

#6Oh no, a CEO yelled at employees, investors, and cut corners. Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave. I think the record shows that Tesla, and Musk, have undergone a lot of growing pains and mistakes, but the results speak for themselves.

#8I've always found the reports of his behind the scenes behavior and its stark contrast with his public persona to be incredibly disturbing, because it paints a picture of someone with psychopathic tendencies.
I suspect there's something really dark with him that originates in his childhood (suffered through horrific bullying and a hellishly awful father).

I'm always thrown when public figures who have an obvious incentive to lie are taken at their word in public statements. It happens all the time with politicians and CEOs.
If you look at where Musk seems to add value, it's 100% in the management zone. Well, that and the other CEO duties of representing the company to the public.

> stark contrast with his public persona
What do you mean? He called a person a pedo in public.
