and afterwards he insisted on being referred to as
Lord Business. He tries to come home early for family dinners with me and the kids and maybe play some computer games with the boys.
They will tell us about their day, and we’ll put them to bed. Then we’ll chat and watch something together on the laptop like
The Colbert
Report.
On the weekends, we’re traveling. The kids are good travelers. There were bajillions of nannies before. There was even a nanny
manager. Things are a bit more normal now. We try and do stuff just as a family when we can. We have the kids four days a week. I like
to say that I am the disciplinarian. I want them to have the sense of an ordinary life, but they live a very odd life. They were just on a trip
with Justin Bieber. They go to the rocket factory and are like, ‘Oh no, not again.’ It’s not cool if your dad does it. They’re used to it.
“People don’t realize that Elon has this incredible naiveté. There are certain times when he is incapable of anything other than pure joy.
And then other times pure anger. When he feels something, he feels it so completely and purely. Nothing else can impose on it. There are
so few people who can do that. If he sees something funny, he will laugh so loudly. He won’t realize we are in a crowded theater and that
other people are there. He is like a child. It’s sweet and amazing. He says this random stuff like, ‘I am a complicated man with very simple
but specific needs’ or ‘No man is an island unless he is large and buoyant.’ We make these lists of things we want to do. His latest
contributions were to walk on a beach at sunset and whisper sweet nothings in each other’s ear and to take more horseback rides. He
likes reading, playing video games, and being with friends.”

Jurvetson elaborated by saying, “Elon has that engineering prowess of Gates, but he’s more interpersonal. You have to be out there on the
spectrum with Gates. Elon has more interpersonal charms. He’s like Jobs in that neither of them suffer fools. But with Jobs there was
more of a hero-shit roller coaster where employees went from in favor to out of favor. I also think Elon has accomplished more.”
