David Gelles joins Felix Salmon to discuss his new book Dirtbag Billionaire.

In this Money Talks: Felix Salmon is joined by author and New York Times reporter David Gelles to discuss his new biography of enigmatic Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard, Dirtbag Billionaire.

Yvon Chouinard was a “dirtbag” — someone committed to an alternative lifestyle — long before founding outdoor giant Patagonia in 1970.

The fourth Cannes film by the French-born Spanish director Oliver Laxe, it’s about dirtbag ravers who’ve gathered in a barren stretch of Morocco for a stunning party: orange cliffs, neon lights, thumping EDM beats and dancers thrashing in the dust like the living dead.

Musk was never a great fit for the dirtbag crowd, which has always been more interested in giving wedgies to self-congratulatory nerds than treating them like heroes.
