According to Talulah,
"Elon Musk is kind of cheeky and funny. He is very loving. He is devoted to his children. He is funny, really funny. He’s quite mercurial. He’s genuinely the oddest person I have ever met. He has moments of self-awareness and lucidity, which for me always bring him back around. He’ll say something cheeky or funny and have this grin. He’s smart in all sorts of areas. He’s very well-read and has this incredible wit. He loves movies.
We went to see the new Lego Movie 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.
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 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."
