Walter Isaacson on the "Demons and Drives" of Elon Musk

Elon Musk, the world’s richest individual, is a divisive figure: a villain to some, a genius to others. He is at the forefront of electric cars, space travel, social media, and now artificial intelligence. Our colleague Walter Isaacson spent two years shadowing Musk. The end result, a 670-page biography, is making waves, as Walter and Christiane discussed when they sat down together in New York.
