"Isaacson and Lewis Champion Books on Musk and Bankman-Fried"

Authors Walter Isaacson and Michael Lewis, known for their biographies and non-fiction books, have recently released books about billionaire Elon Musk and fallen crypto executive Sam Bankman-Fried, respectively. However, both authors found themselves in a challenging position as their subjects transformed from heroes to villains in the public eye during the writing process. Isaacson spent two years with Musk, who has faced criticism for his use of Twitter and promotion of conspiracy theories. Lewis spent time with Bankman-Fried, who is currently on trial for fraud. Despite the criticism, both authors aimed to present a balanced and honest portrayal of their subjects.
