Synopsis
The New York Times Bestseller and Gift Idea for Entrepreneurs and Elon Musk Fans In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs--a real-life Tony Stark--and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers." Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his Internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius's life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits. Vance uses Musk's story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk--one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history--is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy. Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans., In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs--a real-life Tony Stark--and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers."

    the title was OK

    After reading Walter Isaacson's book on Elon Musk I thought I would read this one. I found this one to be better. The writers style is lighter and it is easier to get through the book in a faster manner. The content of both books was very similar. Both books were very good, I just liked this one better. This one was published in 2015 and the other in 2023.

  • Unbelievable

    I find it difficult to comprehend that someone can design and build a rocket and then outdo the big companies and design it to return to earth. This is in addition to an electric car. I am happy that Elon did it in the USA. I am not impressed with his ability to work with his employees. Thanks for presenting the bad as well as the good.

  • quite gripping for non fiction

    I couldn't justify a Tesla, can't afford the stock, so the book is an awesome compromise!
