If there's ever been a Know Your Enemy subject worthy of two episodes, it is Elon Musk—currently the world's richest man, CEO and leader of several pathbreaking companies, ringleader of the Department of Government Efficiency, and (for now) Donald Trump's co-president. In other words, to understand what's happening in the United States during the second Trump administration, it's essential to understand Musk: what shaped him, his enduring preoccupations and personality traits, how he made his vast fortune, and why, in unprecedented ways, he decided to go all in on Trump.In this second of two episodes on Musk, Matt and Sam bring his story up to the present. After offering a few concluding details on Musk's various romantic and familial entanglements, they chart the course of his political derangement, especially focusing on his seeming addiction to Twitter—the social media platform he eventually bought and renamed "X," which also is the name he gave one of his young sons. Musk's purchase of Twitter is treated as a case study in how the billionaire now tends to operate, from his penchant for making wild claims and impulsive decisions, to the way he manages people, tasks, and money. The discussion concludes with a theory of why Trump made such a show of buying a Tesla at the White House, and how to understand what Musk is up to with his erratic, ignorant work at DOGE, with plenty of eyebrow-raising details along the way.As mentioned: Join Matt and Sam and Jamelle Bouie at Dissent magazine's fundraiser on April 8 in New York!Listen again: "Becoming Elon Musk, Part One"Sources:Kate Conger & Ryan Mac, Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter (2024)Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk (2023)Ashlee Vance, Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future (2015)Ella Yurman, "Vivian Jenna Wilson on Being Elon Musk's Estranged Daughter, Protecting Trans Youth and Taking on the Right Online," Mar 20, 2025Kylie Cheung, "World's Richest Man Allegedly Refuses to Pay Appropriate Child Support," Jezebel, Mar 21, 2025Faiz Siddiqui, "Elon Musk is worth $270 billion.

To explore the life and times of Musk, Matt and Sam read several biographies, along with the best reporting on him and his activities (especially of late). In this first episode, they offer a close reading of Musk's childhood in South Africa and the people, and traumas, that shaped him; his discovery of science fiction and teenage fixations on computers, video games, and space exploration; his escape to Canada to attend college and eventual arrival in the United States; and his early years in Silicon Valley and the businesses that first made him very rich.

Guest: Blake Scholl, Founder & CEO of Boom Supersonic“Passion and drive trumps knowledge and experience,” says Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl. Long before he was running Boom — which earlier this year successfully tested the world's first privately-developed supersonic jet — he was enabling “the world's most obnoxious spam cannon” at Groupon, or designing a barcode-scanning game for retail shoppers.But eventually, Blake found the courage to be more audacious and do something closer to his lifelong love of aviation. He began educating himself about things he had never thought to learn, and tapping his LinkedIn network to get intros to the smartest people in the industry. “If you imagine yourself on like the day of IPO, 99 percent of what you needed to know to get to that day, you didn't know on day one,” he says. “So, why not take 99 percent to 99.5 percent, and work on the thing you really want to exist, even if you don't know anything about it yet?”Chapters: (01:07) - Blake on Boom's beginnings (01:52) - Breaking the sound barrier (05:23) - Concorde's legacy (09:36) - Navigating regulations (12:08) - Boomless supersonic flight (16:48) - The test flight (20:11) - Day-of nervousness (24:26) - Carrying passengers (26:55) - Cost & wi-fi (30:19) - “No middle seats” (32:35) - Hard tech (36:48) - What if Apple made a plane?

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Elon Musk to co-lead a new Department of Government Efficiency. And the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, who is also the owner of X, does have a record of wringing efficiencies out of his businesses. But the move raises many questions, like should someone whose companies benefit from federal dollars have a hand in making budget decisions? SpaceX alone has secured about $15.4 billion in federal contracts over the last decade, helping it become the dominant player in the industry. So, how has SpaceX rocketed ahead of the competition, and can anyone catch up? Ashlee Vance, the author of “When the Heavens Went on Sale” and a writer for Bloomberg, pointed to reusable rockets, an innovation that was on spectacular display when SpaceX tested its Starship system last month.

Max and Dana recently joined Ashlee Vance as guests on Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast for a special Elon Musk episode. The wide ranging discussion covered a plethora of subjects, like Starlink's influence on the amateur night sky photographer community, Elon's leadership style and whether all his efforts really is just a combined effort to take humans to Mars. Dana seems to think so.It was such a good time, we can't help but share it with you today. So click play, enjoy, and then go subscribe to Odd Lots.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Last week, Bloomberg Businessweek published an exclusive look at Noland Arbaugh, the first person to get Elon Musk's Neuralink technology implanted in his head. Our own Ashlee Vance spent time with Arbaugh, who lives with his parents and (as you'll hear) some vocal farm animals. Vance joins us to talk about what he learned from the first patient in Neuralink's inaugural clinical trial. He is joined by Bloomberg's Sarah McBride to give a full picture on what it all means. Plus, we talk to markets reporter Kiel Porter and space reporter Loren Grush about all of the action around SpaceX stock—which is kind of interesting since it's still a private company.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On Devin, published by Zvi on March 18, 2024 on LessWrong. Introducing Devin Is the era of AI agents writing complex code systems without humans in the loop upon us? Cognition is calling Devin 'the first AI software engineer.' Here is a two minute demo of Devin benchmarking LLM performance. Devin has its own web browser, which it uses to pull up documentation. Devin has its own code editor. Devin has its own command line. Devin uses debugging print statements and uses the log to fix bugs. Devin builds and deploys entire stylized websites without even being directly asked. What could possibly go wrong? Install this on your computer today. Padme. The Real Deal I would by default assume all demos were supremely cherry-picked. My only disagreement with Austen Allred's statement here is that this rule is not new: Austen Allred: New rule: If someone only shows their AI model in tightly controlled demo environments we all assume it's fake and doesn't work well yet But in this case Patrick Collison is a credible source and he says otherwise. Patrick Collison: These aren't just cherrypicked demos. Devin is, in my experience, very impressive in practice. Here we have Mckay Wrigley using it for half an hour. This does not feel like a cherry-picked example, although of course some amount of select is there if only via the publication effect. He is very much a maximum acceleration guy, for whom everything is always great and the future is always bright, so calibrate for that, but still yes this seems like evidence Devin is for real. This article in Bloomberg from Ashlee Vance has further evidence. It is clear that Devin is a quantum leap over known past efforts in terms of its ability to execute complex multi-step tasks, to adapt on the fly, and to fix its mistakes or be adjusted and keep going. For once, when we wonder 'how did they do that, what was the big breakthrough that made this work' the Cognition AI people are doing not only the safe but also the smart thing and they are not talking. They do have at least one series rival, as Magic.ai has raised $100 million from the venture team of Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman to build 'a superhuman software engineer,' including training their own model. The article seems strange interested in where AI is 'a bubble' as opposed to this amazing new technology. This is one of those 'helps until it doesn't situations' in terms of jobs: vanosh: Seeing this is kinda scary. Like there is no way companies won't go for this instead of humans. Should I really have studied HR? Mckay Wrigley: Learn to code! It makes using Devin even more useful. Devin makes coding more valuable, until we hit so many coders that we are coding everything we need to be coding, or the AI no longer needs a coder in order to code. That is going to be a ways off. And once it happens, if you are not a coder, it is reasonable to ask yourself: What are you even doing? Plumbing while hoping for the best will probably not be a great strategy in that world. The Metric Devin can sometimes (13.8% of the time?!) do actual real jobs on Upwork with nothing but a prompt to 'figure it out.' Aravind Srinivas (CEO Perplexity): This is the first demo of any agent, leave alone coding, that seems to cross the threshold of what is human level and works reliably. It also tells us what is possible by combining LLMs and tree search algorithms: you want systems that can try plans, look at results, replan, and iterate till success. Congrats to Cognition Labs! Andres Gomez Sarmiento: Their results are even more impressive you read the fine print. All the other models were guided whereas devin was not. Amazing. Deedy: I know everyone's taking about it, but Devin's 13% on SWE Bench is actually incredible. Just take a look at a sample SWE Bench problem: this is a task for a human! Shout out to Car...
We love having Ashlee on because he's always covering a fascinating topic. Today it's how AI is being used to decipher ancient Roman scrolls that were damaged by the Vesuvius eruption. Thanks to the technology of the future, we might be on the precipice of learning about the mysterious past. What knowledge might we gain here? Why is the Catholic Church perhaps worried about the implications? And what's with the meme of dudes obsessing over ancient Rome? We discuss all this, plus how Ashlee feels about the Apple Vision Pro goggles (And Apple in general). Enjoy!House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comIf you wanted to follow the Open AI debacle in depth, Ashlee Vance's articles in Bloomberg have been mandatory. Lucky for us, he took a moment out of his busy reporting schedule to hop on HoS and discuss the bigger picture questions connected to the corporate crackup. Also, there's quite a reason for his proximity to the situation, which he reveals in the podcast. I'm not even sure how to timestamp this one, as the conversation jumps around to a lot of abstract places. I'll just say that it's a discussion I personally can't stop thinking about since we had it. Vance is my favorite writer on the topic of the imminent future and there are some staggering possibilities afoot. Should we be terrified? Should we be inspired? Can we, fairly soon, become immortal? Do we want that? We discuss all this, plus talk about Ashlee hanging out with a community of brain-implant augmented monkeys
Ashlee Vance visits Google to discuss his latest book “When the Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach.” With the launch of SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket in 2008, Silicon Valley began to realize that the universe itself was open for business. Now, Ashlee Vance tells the remarkable, unfolding story of this frenzied intergalactic land grab by following four pioneering companies—Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs, and Rocket Lab—as they build new space systems and attempt to launch rockets and satellites into orbit by the thousands. With the public fixated on space tourism being driven by the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson, these new, scrappy companies arrived with a different set of goals: to make rocket and satellite launches fast and cheap, thereby opening Earth's lower orbit for business. Through immersive and intimate reporting, this book reveals the spectacular chaos of the new business of space, and what happens when the idealistic, ambitious minds of Silicon Valley turn their unbridled vision toward the limitless expanse of the stars.

Elon Musk's startup Neuralink wants to implant a tiny chip in people's brains, and it's looking for a volunteer for its first clinical trial. Ashlee Vance, a Musk biographer and Bloomberg Businessweek contributor, made nearly a dozen visits to Neuralink facilities over the past three years for this week's cover story on Neuralink. He's reported on a robot brain-surgeon, an impatient Musk and a surreal scenes of smoothie-sipping, brain-chipped monkeys. Musk has reshaped an entire industry, and this one could be the most transformative of all. This bonus episode of Elon, Inc. is hosted by David Papadopoulos.

After building an empire, now Elon Musk wants us to believe he deserves it.

Diving into the life, lessons, and greatness of Elon Musk from Ashlee Vance's book, Elon Musk: How Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping the Future Check out my new book Chasing Greatness: Timeless Stories on the Pursuit of ExcellenceSign up for my weekly greatness newsletter sent out every week with stories, lessons, and quotes from greats throughout history, and some thoughts from me.-----0:50 - Musk Purpose“If we can solve sustainable energy problems and be well on our way to becoming a multiplanetary species with a self-sustaining civilization on another planet…I think that would be really good.”2:30 - Asking Better Questions“A lot of times, the question is harder than the answer, and if you can properly phrase the question, then answer is the easy part?”The questions he asked himself after graduating college, “What would most influence the world? What are the problems we have to solve?”7:00 - Belief Before Ability “He has this belief that he is the guy who can change the world.” - Dave Bearden, a space industry veteran 8:30 - Personal Risk and Sacrifice“He's willing to take an insane amount of personal risk. When you do a deal like that, it either pays off or you end up in a bus shelter somewhere.”16:35 - Mentality“My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit sepuuku than fail.”17:45 - Failing Fast“If there were two paths where we had to choose one thing or the other, and one wasn't obviously better han the other, the rather than spend a lot of time trying to figure out which one was slightly better, we would just pick one and do it . And sometimes we'd be wrong…but oftentimes it's better to just pick a path and do it rather than just vacillate endlessly on the choice.”24:20 - Capacity for Pain“He has the ability to work harder and endure more stress than anyone I've ever met,”"The harder it gets, the better he gets. Anyone who saw what he went through firsthand came away with more respect for the guy. I've just never seen anything like his ability to take pain.” 32:10: One Final Note“Elon came to the conclusion early in his career that life is short. If you really embrace this, it leaves you with the obvious conclusion that you should be working as hard as you can.”
Elon Musk has built himself a corporate empire, but how did he do it? He's styled himself at as the cofounder of Tesla, but the real innovations came from its actual founders before he took the credit and spun a ton of deceptive tales he couldn't follow through on to boost its share price. Ultimately, his interventions have had some serious consequences.

Elon Musk is man, but he's also a character that he crafted and which the media blew up to unimaginable scale. Without the media, Musk would not be the man he is today because that myth — and the way it exaggerated some of his traits and virtually hid others — was essential to his success.

Not the new one, sorry This isn't the new Musk biography everyone's talking about. This is the 2015 Musk biography by Ashlee Vance. I started reading it in July, before I knew there was a new one. It's fine: Musk never changes. He's always been exactly the same person he is now I read the book to try to figure out who that was. Musk is a paradox. He spearheaded the creation of the world's most advanced rockets, which suggests that he is smart. He's the richest man on Earth, which suggests that he makes good business decisions. But we constantly see this smart, good-business-decision-making person make seemingly stupid business decisions. He picks unnecessary fights with regulators. Files junk lawsuits he can't possibly win. Abuses indispensable employees. Renames one of the most recognizable brands ever. Musk creates cognitive dissonance: how can someone be so smart and so dumb at the same time? To reduce the dissonance, people have spawned a whole industry of Musk-bashing, trying to explain away each of his accomplishments: Peter Thiel gets all the credit for PayPal, Martin Eberhard gets all the credit for Tesla, NASA cash keeps SpaceX afloat, something something blood emeralds. Others try to come up with reasons he's wholly smart - a 4D chessmaster whose apparent drunken stumbles lead inexorably to victory. Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, And The Quest For A Fantastic Future delights in its refusal to resolve the dissonance. Musk has always been exactly the same person he is now, and exactly what he looks like. He is without deception, without subtlety, without unexpected depths. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-elon-musk

Space is the ultimate extreme environment. The extreme temperatures, vacuum of space, and radiation variability can easily cause electronics to stop functioning and fail. In space your microchips can never fail since there's no replacing it once you're in orbit. That's why it's critical for these chips to be reliable, secure, and able to withstand the harsh environments of space. We are honored to have Dr. Deniz Civay on the podcast, who is the Harsh Environment Battleground Owner of Aerospace and Defense at Global Foundries, a semiconductor company.

How can doing something embarrassing in front of people be good for you? This episode begins by explaining how making a fool of yourself can actually have benefits and make you happier. Maybe not in the moment but overall. https://exploringyourmind.com/making-fool-yourself-makes-you-happier/ When you tell a lie, there are consequences – especially if you get caught. Because if you are caught lying, you are now a liar and that can be a difficult label to shake. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Lying is fraught with all kinds of danger. Yet, everyone lies at some point in their life. Here to help you understand why people lie, and some of the consequences of lying you may have never even considered before is Drew Curtis. He is a licensed psychologist in Texas and is on the faculty at Angelo State University. He is author of the book Big Liars: What Psychological Science Tells Us About Lying and How You Can Avoid Being Duped (https://amzn.to/47PmsmP) Not all that long ago, it was only governments that had the money and technology to launch rockets into space. Not anymore. Today private companies are launching rockets and satellites into space almost daily! And ultimately, it is all about money. People like Elon Musk with his company SpaceX are leading the way and there are dozens of other companies collectively trying to conquer space and make a profit. Joining me to explain what is going on here is Ashlee Vance. He wrote a bestselling book about Elon Musk, he is also a feature writer at Bloomberg Businessweek and he is author of the book When the Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach (https://amzn.to/44gavDB) You can predict the weather with your morning cup of coffee – sort of.
