Mostly post nerdy, tech, science & meme stuff. https://x.com/aerocopz ---- [Walter Isaacson] on whether [Elon Musk] @elonmusk is [Happy]: https://x.com/aerocopz/status/1986161848312648057 “He's somebody who not only is not usually happy, but he doesn't value happiness. If you said, what are the top 10 things you want in life? I would think happiness, pleasure, calmness, sweetness, going to the beach, none of those would be in the top 10. Tallulah Riley, who was married to him, said, he's not the type who can stop and savor or smell the flowers. He doesn't want to sit back and be content and be happy. And I asked him about it. I said, 'Okay, are you ever happy at what you've achieved?' He said, 'No, I'm like a video game addict. When I get to one level of the game and I've succeeded, all I can think about is moving to the next level of the game, be it Elden Ring or Polytopia.'” Interviewer: “Is that common amongst the great leaders that you've studied?” Walter : “No, but it was definitely true of Steve Jobs, who, having built the great computers...And likewise, Musk is always pushing for the next thing as opposed to happiness. Interviewer: “Is that true of everybody?” Walter : “No, I mean, Jeff Bezos has the biggest yacht you can imagine and more vacation homes, and he's happier, I think. I mean, he likes to savor his success. It's also true that his space company, Blue Origin, hasn't yet gotten anybody into orbit. I don't know if there's a particular trade-off there. But I know Musk would say, 'Yeah, I could be on a yacht somewhere, but that's not what I want.'” {tags: People, Wizard}
