What impressed me the most in "The Legend of Elon Musk" is the following passage:
Lucas, the financial personnel who was once responsible for overseeing the cost of Raptor engines, was harshly reprimanded during his first meeting with Musk, shortly after his child passed away. When asked about this experience later, Musk replied, "I try to criticize behavior, not people themselves. Physics doesn't care about the feeling of harm, it only cares about whether you got the rocket right
Lucas later resigned and said, "Musk cares a lot about humanity, but from a macro perspective. You realize that you're just a tool to achieve grand goals, but sometimes the tools wear out and he replaces them. Working for Musk is one of the most exciting things you can do, but it doesn't leave too much time in your life. If the Raptor becomes the most affordable engine ever and takes us to Mars, then it may be worth the price. That's my belief for over eight years. But now, especially after my child's death, it's time for me to focus on other things in life
