Elon Musk ex-wife Talulah Riley - Elon is the most emotional person I know.
"He has a kind of innocence to him. What I mean is that he feels whatever emotion he is experiencing with incredible purity. Whatever the emotion is, he feels it very deeply.
I have heard people say he is cold and emotionless, and that could not be further from the truth. He is the most emotional person I know.
One thing I remember from very early on is going to the cinema with him. We were watching a comedy, and Elon found the film so funny that he literally fell onto the floor, rolling around and holding his stomach while laughing. Everyone else in the cinema was looking at us like, “What is going on over there?” I was saying, “Come on, get up off the floor.”
But he was completely absorbed by what was on screen. He was feeling it. He feels things deeply. If he feels anger, you know it. Whatever he feels, it goes deep."
Elon Musk's personal pilot once described what happens on the plane between meetings.
He said Elon doesn't sleep on flights. He doesn't watch movies. He doesn't make small talk with whoever is traveling with him. He reads. For the entire flight. Technical papers, engineering specifications, physics textbooks. Highlighted. Annotated. Pages folded. Like a graduate student preparing for an exam that never ends.
The pilot said he has seen Elon read an entire 400-page engineering manual on a single transatlantic flight and then walk off the plane and ask questions about it that the authors of the manual probably couldn't answer. Not because he's trying to impress anyone. Because he genuinely needs to understand every system at the level of the engineers who designed it.
He said the most unsettling part is the speed. Elon doesn't read at a normal pace. He processes pages the way most people process paragraphs. And he retains almost everything. Engineers who worked with him for years say he will reference a detail from a paper he read six months ago mid-conversation as if he read it that morning.
The world sees a CEO making decisions. What actually happens is a man who reads more technical material than most PhD students and then walks into a room with the engineers and speaks their language. The authority isn't inherited from the title. It's earned page by page on every flight between factories.
Logan Paul: “I think Elon Musk is the most impactful human that's ever graced the planet, and will be remembered far longer than any single person walking this earth.”
