Tesla’s Elon Musk and Google co-founder Larry Page don’t talk anymore. That’s what it says, definitively, in Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk, published Tuesday. Musk detailed his falling out with Page, who he once considered a very close friend.
Close may be underselling it. The duo was included in Fortune’s 2016 list of “8 business leaders you didn’t know were BFFs.” Musk was known to crash at Page’s house when he visited Silicon Valley. “He’s kind of homeless, which I think is sort of funny,” Page told Ashlee Vance in his 2015 biography Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. “He’ll email and say, ‘I don’t know where to stay tonight. Can I come over?’ I haven’t given him a key or anything yet.”
