Elon Musk's Dad Calls BS On His Bullying Origin Story!
If you’ve heard Elon Musk tell the story about being bullied all the time as a kid and jumped by a whole group of thugs?
You may want to take that with a grain of silicon… The billionaire who reduced Twitter to X has a new biography out, and it’s the hottest tell-all right now.
If the “all” that’s being told is legit anyway. His father has a pretty big point of contention. In Walter Isaacson‘s book, simply titled Elon Musk, the biographer begins with an early story of an attack that the Tesla CEO has spoken about before.
Isaacson writes that young Elon was “regularly beaten by bullies” growing up in South Africa — and once was pushed down a flight of concrete steps and kicked in the face until he was just a “swollen ball of flesh.” He was rushed to the hospital and out of school for a whole week.
