Elon Musk's Story: Childhood Trauma, Genius, and Troll

Join Matt Lewis as he welcomes back Matthew Sitman, co-host of the acclaimed 'Know Your Enemy' podcast, to dive deep into the fascinating and complex life of Elon Musk.

In this episode, we explore Musk’s tumultuous childhood in South Africa, marked by bullying and an abusive father, and how these experiences shaped his path to becoming a tech titan.

From his early love of science fiction to losing his first child and his controversial reaction to his trans daughter Vivian, we uncover the personal stories behind the headlines.

Matthew shares insights from his two-part podcast series on Musk, drawing from biographies like Ashley Vance’s 2014 book, Walter Isaacson’s authorized bio, and 'Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter' (2024).

Discover what drives Musk — from his Mars ambitions to his role in the Department of Government Efficiency — and whether his flaws are tied to his brilliance.
