    I get that Kara is angry with Elon, but interrupting Walter every 2 minutes to interject her opinion is just annoying and rude……

      I've not been a fan of many of her interviews. She made a GREAT tandem with Walt Mossberg. But not so much anymore. But I liked what she did here. She really asked the tough questions. Usually these things are the interviewer letting the writer regurgitate stories form their book. See David Rubensteins interview with Isaacson. Rubenstein literally sat their and fed him softball questions so he could retell book stories.

      Isaacson did a great job of civilly answering her in spite of her many rude interruptions, and constant attempts to belittle Elon‘s character. What a biased ax grinder she was! Understandably, Walter looked uncomfortable the whole time he was sitting there. Kudos to him for not letting her nonsense prevail!

    I’ve not seen her interview anyone, and my first impression is that she is rude and has an annoying manner. Walter I have seen, and he is a gentleman, polite and deferential to his interviewer. I wouldn’t want to be Walter right now.

    Why didn't she read the book?
    It's interesting that Kara fancies herself such an expert on tech people, yet when it comes to writing their biographies, these giants go to Walter. She is negative, snarky and reliant on the quick retort while he is gentle on the ear, thoughtful and careful to consider many factors at once before answering. I also see why they would allow Walter to live with them.

      I'm not her biggest fan ... but I kind of liked how she kept pushing back on Elon's bizzare side. This type of interview is usually the interviewer letting the writer tell stories from their book. Listen to David Rubenstein's interview of Issacson ... it was so soft ball ... without drawing zero insights ... total blah. At least this was interesting.

    This is nearly impossible to watch. Why? Swisher is sitting there telling Isaacson SHE knows Elon better than him. Isaacson just spent TWO YEARS with Elon in every area of Elon's life. Swisher is obnoxious and I always am AMAZED she has anyone who wants to hear what she has to say. Go Home Ms Seisher, please. She is jealous of what Elon has achieved so she has this overt mean to bash him. So sad.

    Kara is just a narcissist, she can’t fantom the fact that she’s not the one getting the praise for writing this book. You wonder why Elon cut her off is because of that, see how rude she was to Walter, she thinks she knows all of these people and that she knows better than everyone as well as Walter, interrupting him and all that like girl calm down, the fact that you interview these people doesn’t put you on the same level as them.
