Why the scare quotes? Would you like to be more explicit about which ideology you think she fell into, and why you consider it extremist?

Look her up on TikTok, she’s not mentally well. Extreme leftist ideology is what I’m talking about.

You should read the book, it’s pretty good. Isaacson is not at all biased towards Musk, he has a lot of critical things to say about him. The author is one of the most trusted and thorough biographers of his generation and is known for extensive primary-source research.

This verge article is cope, they are a very politically biased organization. Linking to them is the equivalent of me linking to Fox News and trying to pass it off as unbiased.

Also, those are not scare quotes. His “daughter” is a man pretending to be a woman because of mental illness and extremist ideology.

It doesn’t seem that leftist to me. Are you a shrink? Or are you using some kind of folk diagnosis to determine she’s mentally unwell?

What kind of ideology strips individuals of the right of self determination to live and be called whatever they want? That’s what most civilized people call extreme.

Can you give an example of “valid” scare quotes? Or a definition even?

That may well be. I'm also extrapolating from what I read about his upbringing. That's pretty extreme. He was severely abused by his father (possibly even sexually) and bullied by his peers. His "superpower" is an insatiable desire to proof something forever. Also asking Epstein (post-conviction) for an invitation to a wild party on his island is allowing for conclusions that are hardly flattering. And I mean that in a way that is orthogonal to happiness.

IMO, Isaacson isn't the most objective biographer and his sourcing tends to be pretty awful. I don't trust anything he's written about contemporary people and I'm still disappointed that the access Steve Jobs gave him was seemingly squandered.
