Special good morning to Ms Anne Milling, whose instincts and ethics are clearly vastly superior to Walter Isaacson's

Also at our table is a prim, polite, and politically connected uptown New Orleans woman in a floral dress whose name is Anne Milling. “A real steel magnolia,” Isaacson calls her. She tells him she’s not so sure about his latest subject. “I just don’t like his values,” she says with exquisite disdain. “You may not like certain aspects of what he tweets,” Isaacson tells her, “but he has sent up this year so far more mass to orbit than all countries and all companies combined. He has created a car company that’s worth as much as all nine other car companies combined.” “That’s great,” she shoots back. “I admire that, Walter, but now I’ll teyyeh what! His values are not my values, so theyyeh go!” “But have you gotten a rocket to Mars?” he asks. “I don’t give a hoot about a rocket tah’ Mahhs!”

The fact that Elon Musk's biographer doesn't seem to realize that he hasn't yet put a rocket to Mars really encapsulates the entire Elon Musk problem.
