0:48Now PlayingElon Musk is prone to “demon-like” outbursts that he can “hardly remember” in the aftermath, according to his biographer.
Walter Isaacson, who followed the Tesla tycoon around for three years for the bombshell biography set to be released Tuesday, described the billionaire as having “multiple personalities.”
In a Monday interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough asked Isaacson about the different sides of the eccentric 52-year-old, saying his new book paints “two, three, four types of Elon.”
“You know, that’s a great question because he has so many personalities, almost like multiple personalities, and a bit like his father, whom he doesn’t speak to now — but his father is a Jekyll and Hyde and sometimes goes very dark,” the biographer replied.
“And it happened to Elon too. He’ll go from being very giddy or being in engineering mode, where he can figure out the valve of a raptor engine, and suddenly the clouds come,” he continued.
“And the amazing thing is, after he’s gone dark and been demon-like and really tough on people, he’ll snap out of it. And then I’ll ask him, ‘What was that about?’ and he hardly remembers it.”
