Elon Musk biographer Walter Isaacson says mogul ‘can flame out and burn’

Isaacson, 71 , gives his take on fake news, the state of the journalism business and whether Musk ’s leadership offers a blueprint for other CEOs to follow.

Isaacson: There's always a balance between opening the aperture to more speech and guarding against misinformation.

He says Musk may be going too far in allowing the amplification of voices that make the platform feel noxious.

Walter says Musk regrets a lot of things including the fact that when he is in dark moods he shoots himself in the foot and stabs himself by posting things that aren’t informed and by sometimes making impulsive decisions.

The strength of Musk is his ability to figure out manufacturing and engineering and to push people incredibly hard.
