In Walter Isaacson's biography of Elon Musk, there is a scene that inadvertently captures the essence of the book:
[Max] Levchin is playing with Musk in a friend's bachelor apartment. Some people are engaged in a high-stakes game of Texas Hold'em. Although Musk is not good at playing cards, he still sits down at the table. &#34;It's all nerds and smart guys there, they are good at card counting and calculating odds,&#34; Levchin said. &#34;Elon goes All In every hand and then loses. Then he buys more chips and doubles down. Eventually, after losing a lot of hands, he goes all in and wins. Then he says, 'Okay, I'm done.'
This would become the theme of his life: avoiding taking chips off the table; continuing to take risks.
