I remember when this thing came out how Walter isaacson came out with his biography treating it as if it was Steve Jobs envisioning the personal computer, celebrating the design process as if the cybertruck’s success was a foregone conclusion.

I lost all my respect for isaacson at that time as it was clear he’d entered a bubble himself.

This also seems along with a lot of other recent moves to reveal that money is getting tighter over there.

IIRC Issacon was sleeping with Musk’s mother while he was writing the book too.

I’ve heard that before but all searches come up completely blank, unsurprisingly

That’s wild, I’ve never heard that. And to be clear my issue was not that I’m a perma Elon hater, it was Isaacson’s total impartiality to this biography and seeming desire to get swept up in the bubble which has at least in part been debunked.

I don't think this is true. Probably based on social media rumors, which is ironic.
