• -Elon Musk’s brother, Kimbal, once bit off his flesh during a fight. According to the book, the two Musks came to blows over their start up Zip2. Elon was later rushed to hospital where he received stitches and a tetnus shot.
• It was also learnt that the Tesla founder wants “smart people to have kids.” Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, who welcomed twins with the 52-year-old in November 2021, said Musk always encouraged her to have children.

“He really wants smart people to have kids, so he encouraged me to do this. I can’t possibly think of genes I would prefer for my children,” Zilis tells Isaacson in the book. Musk is a father to 10 children, including 18-year-old twins Vivian Jenna Wilson and Griffin, along with triplets Kai, Damian and Sax, who were born in 2006, with his first wife, Justine Wilson.
