isaacson's book reveals that musk's ex-girlfriend, musician clair boucher, whose stage name is grimeshad a new baby boy last year. his full name is technomechanicus musk. of course musk has never been a typical ceo. >> i mean, it's legal, right? >> totally legal. >> okay. >> reporter: he's smoked marijuana on camera. he's challenged facebook's mark zuckerberg to a cage match. and he's frequently in trouble with the government, whose regulations he despises. >> generally the government should try to get out of the way and not impede progress. >> if you ask him what the biggest problem facing america these days, is that we're too risk averse, we have too many referees and not enough doers, and that's why we don't build high-speed trains or rockets that can get to orbit. >> reporter: already the u.s. government hires spacex to carry our astronauts into orbit, contracts with starlink to connect our military, and plans to pay tesla to open its network of electric car charging stations to all drivers. but in a recent "new yorker" article journalist ronan farrow writes that the u.s. is becom

, he is writing a new biography of the mask isaacson emphasized that in this way the businessman wasaliatory nuclear strike from russia; the head of spacex included the role of a peacemaker and closed the topic of discussion. both sides must agree to a truce. every day more and more ukrainian and russian youth die, gaining and losing small pieces of land. at the same time, the boundaries practically do not change. this is not worth their lives . elon put on a similar mask of virtue and previously proposed a peace plan for resolving the conflict, namely to recognize crimea as russian and to hold repeated referendums in new regions of russia for ukraine to leave a neutral status after new statements by ilan of sympathy for our country. he's got more. there is hardly any political interest. it is rather commercial in similar actions. well, let's put it this way, he overcharges you, that is, these are his services. they are so important, so significant. yes, without him all this is impossible, that is, he is not a cog yes, but one of the players through this manipulation through this act

isaacson's new book and in mr. ferrell's reporting for the new yorker, the thing that stands out here is this, here is the quote from walter assistance book about mr. musk intervening in the war. to stop ukraine from its attack on russian ships. when mr. musk made the decision quote, he had just spoken to the russian ambassador. . just spoke to the russian ambassador and then made the decision to cut ukraine's supply lines, so that they could not fight russia. >> here is how most their pharaoh describes musk's own description of who he was talking to. when the pentagon intervened to fix the problem, tried to get him to stop messing with ukraine's supply lines. tried to get him to stop messing with ukraine's ability to fight off the russian military. this is from the new yorker. to the dismay pentagon officials, mr. musk volunteered that he had spoken with putin personally. in other individual telling me, meaning towed feral that musk maintained the assertion that he had spoken with putin in the weeks before he twee

isaacson's account, mr. musk took action to make sure the ukrainian military would not be able to do that. mr. musk making sure the ukrainian military could not use his starlink satellite internet network which is what ukraine used for connectivity on the battlefield to advance that operation. he got personally involved to make sure ukraine had its hands tied in battle. that was reported in mr. isaacson's biography, first reported by the economist in october. then last month, in the new yorker, reporter ronan farrow reported more detail about how elon musk has been stopping ukrainian forces from using this crucial supply line, from using starlink in kherson and zaporizhzhia and donetsk and luhansk. musk has been geoffensing all those places in ukraine, fencing those places off from the starlink satellite network deliberately to hamstring ukraine's military, deliberately to stop ukraine defending its territory in this war against russia after russia invaded them. so i mean, not to get too simple here, but lik

isaacson says he followed musk around for more than two years. he's also written a biography of steve jobs. in the book, isaacson says musk ordered his starlink internet system to be turned off as ukrainian drones headed toward the harbor. the drones needed the internet connection apparently to find their way. according to a book excerpt published by cnn, isaacson says musk explained it this way, i think if the ukrainian attacks had succeeded in sinking the russian fleet, it would have been like a mini pearl harbor and led to a major escalation. we did not want to be a part of that. now, musk on social media has said he didn't turn anything off. the system was off and he ordered it not to be turned on, which is a clarification on all of this. now, starlink was put into ukraine originally as something, musk says, for people to enjoy internet, and he was surprised when it was then used and weaponized, and other companies have had issues with that in the past as well. but, again, this book comes out on tuesday. >> we will be reading it. thanks, scot

amna: that is walter isaacson, whose new biography on elon musk is out now.eak with you. walter: thank you so much for having me. amna: regional theater has been a glory of the american cultural scene for decades, bringing plays and musicals to audiences in cities across the country. but the pandemic and a host of other social shifts have led to cutbacks, cancellations, even closures of theaters. what if, to tweak "hamlet" a bit, the play is no longer the thing? jeffrey brown has a look for our arts and culture series, canvas. >> the ladies of our holy order will lead us in prayer. jeffrey: somehow, someway, the show must go on. it is the abiding mantra of theatre, and for years that has been true of this new haven theater, showcasing a who's who of actors. now the show will go on with a very different look. >> welcome to the theater. this will be transformed. jeffrey: either in one traditional theater space, says the artistic director, it might be here at this boathouse. >> you're looking all around new haven for what? >> i think of it as our city and region

isaacson that mr. musk can be odder still.e really has all of these personalities and at times, he is totally crazy and he'll admit it. he'll almost cackle about his craziness and then he might go into a dark, brooding period, but there, you know, you see that picture. he takes risks, and even at his birthday party, he gets a blind folded knife thrower. neil: that's a little weird. >> and puts the balloon between his legs. or the sumo wrestler. we used to be a nation of risk-takers. whether on the mayflower or cross the rio grande and people would take risks and now we've become a nation of more referees than risk takers. no you can't do it, it's not safe, regulators, than people willing to innovate. so i think that crazed risk taking gene, page after page in my book, helps tokes to explain how we're getting rockets into orbit. >> and the best are molded out of their faults. he's got a lot of faults, however that molded him. that seems to go back to a rocky relationship with his dad and his father was, seems like a really s-o-

isaacson hastened to publish a clarification according to him . he was wrong.ban starling in crimea was made on the night of the attack. it was accepted much earlier . the mask gratefully retweeted this post and confirmed that the system. the link in the crimea region was not initially activated , the entrepreneur then rejected ukraine’s request to activate it, because he did not want spacex to become an obvious accomplice in the escalation of the conflict. musk also stated that he wants to help people, and not kill them, and later the entrepreneur responded to the accusation of government change. according to him, no matter what happens, he will fight for america and die for it. mask also noted that the us congress does not declared war on russia and harshly stated that if anyone is a traitor, it is those who call me such end of quote. a competition has started in the country; this is a family competition that will help through common affairs and joint creativity to unite and strengthen russian families. at first registration, the organizers have already recei

. >> spacex ceo elon musk has confirmed a report in walter isaacson's new biography of him that last year musk personally blocked access to his starlink satellite network in crimea in order to disrupt a major ukrainian attack on the russian navy in crimea. do you think what musk did was appropriate and are you okay with a private citizen having so much power over war? >> first of all, i don't know enough of the details about that to comment, but if there's any sort of smoke, we should have transparency. we should be able to find out exactly what happened, who did it, why they did it and when they did it and we should be able to take the appropriate action. the bottom line is we should always watch out for the national security of americans and our allies. if there's anything that came in the way of that, we should address it. if there's something there, we should ask questions about it. but i think we need to look into it further. >> your campaign got some good news. some brand-new polling from cnn suggests that you are far and away the strongest republican candidate to take on joe b
