FERGUSON: Elon Musk has been around for more than a decade. We've discussed everything from the war in Ukraine to the future of American education as a team. I've long believed he was the Napoleon Bonaparte of our days. Walter Isaacson's latest biography, based on two years of shadowing Musk, comes to a similar conclusion. And, as the world's richest man is transitioned from hero to villain, this historical analogy should not be dismissed. Musk and I enjoyed a drink in Menlo Park, California, with one of my boys, then 18 and about to begin a gap year in Africa. Musk was preoccupied. He received a video call from one of his Tesla factories, which seemed to be on fire halfway through our chat. 'Is it important?' He asked. The guy in the burning factory seemed to be unconcerned. 'Then don't bother me,' he yelled and hung up. With a sudden vigour, he said to my son, 'Don't go to South Africa.' You'll die,' he says.' My son disregarded this advice. During a carjacking in Johannesburg just barely avoided being shot a few months later. I tell this tale to illustrate an important personality trait that distinguishes Musk from ordinary people: he has superhuman intuition.

Many of those closest to him, including biographer Walter Isaacson, rated Heard as the most detrimental of all the volatile influences he's taken in his life, are named Heard. Their friendship, which became a footnote in her defiance against Depp, who raised it simply as a sign of her infidelity, began in 2012 when she appeared in an action film called Machete Kills about an explorer who aims to establish a new world in space. Musk, who met those requirements in a way, agreed to be a consultant in order to meet her. Heard's romantic relationship, on the other hand, began four years ago when Heard was supposed to split up from Depp, and Musk's family and relatives - she was a nightmare from the beginning, according to Isaacson.

In his book 'Elon Musk,' does anyone think Musk could rebuild his friendship with Errol's youngest son Elliot Rush, who died in 2016.
