I did not expect to burn through this deep dive so fast but it’s fascinating! I also have found Erolls sexual relationship with his step daughter to be a massive indicator of what Elons life may have been like, and find very few people know of it or talk about it. Listening to this ignited a hope in me that Elon would find his way out of the darkness currently consuming him. I’d really given up on that but I believe the human being is still in there, and fighting against some very big personal demons. Great deep dive. Thanks guys. I’ll be sad when it’s over.

2025-03-02 03:48:54 +0000 UTCI get the point that Elon became Elon in part because of public responses to him—however, I don’t buy that “we” made him who he is in. Other people are in similar circumstances, but their responses are different. Should we all be mindful of things that we say to others, especially in the public arena? Yes, that’s important. Are people responsible for their own reactions? Also yes. He is who he is because of the sum total of his experiences.

2024-10-04 07:09:10 +0000 UTCI loved this chapter. Very insightful and heartbreaking. I have been struggling while listening to this deep dive because of my own history working for Elon (I am the commenter referenced in chapter 2, former Tesla employee). I can't tell you how many times I'm interrupting the podcast sputtering about how "but you got x y z wrong!!" or "you missed this thing!!". But overall it's been almost therapeutic to hear you guys get to the real human core of Elon and where his behavior comes from. I agree 100% with Kirk's ending thesis here about the online bullying driving Elon further down the dark path, and as someone who's been deeply connected to Elon's story since 2016, watching him descend in realtime has been heartbreaking.

2024-10-02 19:04:37 +0000 UTCIt’s deeply concerning to me that men in power making massive decisions that affect our everyday lives are so frequently traumatized, yet refuse to get help. More often than not, they do not experience meaningful consequences for their harmful behavior. This is why I have a personal belief that billionaires should not exist—that’s far too much power in any one person’s hands.

2024-10-02 18:51:32 +0000 UTCI'm curious how Berto sees it, but I see it as part of their dynamic. Kirk feels protective over Berto getting misunderstood by the "fly by night" audience, and in the past they have fought about it and made up. In the past Kirk has also expressed he wants to keep the conversation close to the outline so they don't get shit on on YouTube for going on too many tangents. Then there's also Kirk's personality during debates which may get intense over Berto's very calm manner of debating. Etc.
