He won’t take no. If someone says that something is not possible, there is the risk of a tantrum. Or he can pack his bags. Elon Musk crosses boundaries as he unfolds his vision, his ideas and makes demands. It’s his weakness and his strength, concludes Tim Higgins, auto and technology reporter for The Wall Street Journal in his book Power Play with the telling subtitle Tesla, Elon Musk and the gamble of the century. It is a fascinating story about trial and error, about a turbulent search for the ultimate. “Faith created a vision, the vision created a market, the market created money, and money created cars,” Higgins said. All this led by Elon Musk, who leaves no room for compromise, who pushes himself and others to the limit, who interferes with every detail, blames others when he overthinks and things go wrong, and is therefore also his greatest danger. Contrasted with his vision and enthusiasm is an extremely large ego, narrow-mindedness, a short temper, paranoia and excessive Twitter behaviour.
