It doesn't sound like an upcoming biography about the life of Elon Musk is going to be a puff piece. Elon's biographer, Walter Isaacson, has released some details from his September book, describing Elon as a Jekyll and Hyde type who once attacked an employee two weeks after they had lost their child.

Isaacson shared his observations during an event on Twitter Spaces
Musk took aim at someone whose child had just died
Isaacson recalled how Musk "chewed out" someone who had lost a child just two weeks prior.
"He is just brutal. The thing that I noticed is that once he finishes doing it — and it was never physical and it was almost done in a flat monotone — but he would just really attack people and then a few days later, if they absorbed the lesson, he'd forget about it," Isaacson continued.

That's an unusual move for someone who has lost their own child
The Twitter CEO lost a son in 2002. His ex-wife, Justine Musk, opened up about the painful loss back in 2022, describing how their little boy, Nevada Alexander Musk, passed away from sudden infant death syndrome, more commonly known as SIDS.
The baby boy was just 10 weeks old at the time.
We wonder what else Musk's book will reveal
The Twitter head has become a controversial figure in recent years, so we're sure that his book will be full of interesting revelations.
Hopefully it prompts him to apologize to that employee though. We simply cannot imagine how painful an experience that had to be while they were in such a raw emotional state.
