This past Tuesday a new book titled “Elon Musk” by Walter Isaacson was released. In it, Isaacson attempts to explain those personal traits that have helped (or hindered) Musk to become the world’s richest man.

I have embedded an interview with Isaacson from the 9/13/2023 WSJ. At first blush, this blog post may seem not to apply to those of us on dialysis. Nothing could be further from the truth. As we are still learning and profiting from the wisdom of Steve Jobs at Apple, so will the influence on all of us from the wisdom and quirks of Musk pervade business thinking for decades to come. His five principles of developing new products can and should be applied to the design and manufacture of improved dialysis equipment. By the way, Jobs was a first-class jerk as is Musk.
