Podcast: Elon Musk, childhood, love and excess
LISTEN TO THE ELON MUSK EPISODE
And that's the first thing to know: Elon Musk is not like us.
He already has an IQ of 155 (Albert Einstein's was 160).
And he has a fortune gravitating, at the time when we recorded this podcast, around 200 billion dollars (140 billion today, or 131 billion euros).
Until then you know he's the head of Tesla and SpaceX, he made the electric car cool, he wants to colonize Mars in the near future, and he bought out Twitter in a story unending.
But did you know that he grew up with an evil father, that he is (really) afraid of the extinction of humanity, that his employees have implemented survival techniques to work with him, and that he has, to date… 9 children?!
