Kara Valmette: I didn't want him to leave an over something so stupid. People also think you're like the go-to person for Elon. So yes, I suppose I am. And do you like that kind of like chief Elon psychologist? Do you think of like a PhD or what is that? No, I want to talk to him because I have a lot of things to say about him. He was like a cat that ran up the tree. We'll be back in a minute.
Today we're sharing an episode of On with Kara Swisher - her other favorite podcat.
Elon Musk is a puzzle, but if there’s anyone who can make sense of him it’s Kara Swisher. She’s covered him since the late 90s – back in her early days as a beat reporter at the Wall Street Journal and she’s had many in-depth interviews and exchanges with the tech titan since, perhaps more than any other reporter. She’s also covered Elon’s latest fiefdom, Twitter, before it even was Twitter. So today we turn the tables, and Kara Swisher is “On” with Nayeema Raza.
We’ll unpack how Elon became Elon, why Kara came to believe he was one of the greatest visionaries in Silicon Valley, when exactly she soured on him — and why she still holds out some hope.
You can find Kara and Nayeema on Twitter @karaswisher and @nayeema.
