Having read many of his books when young, and developed a nuanced opinion about his writing, I chose to believe that even monsters can make masterpieces. He's no monster, but he and his ideas aren't without their fangs. Anyone who finds beauty in that masterpiece needs to reckon with that monster.

Watch This .

According to a 2012 Business Insider article recounting Musk's interview with Sarah Lacy at PandoDaily, he admitted that in 2000, while driving on Sand Hill Road with PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, he decided to show off. "Watch this," he said, moments before the McLaren spun out of control, flew "like a discus" three feet into the air, and crashed. The worst part, Musk acknowledged, was that the million-dollar car wasn't insured.
