#2 Sunday Times non-fiction bestseller
SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY APPLE, AMAZON, THE TIMES AND FINANCIAL TIMES
Epic feats. Epic failures. An epic story.
Walter Isaacson charts Elon Musk’s journey from humble beginnings to one of the wealthiest people on the planet – but is Musk a genius or a jerk?
From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of Elon Musk, the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era – a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue and charismatic fantasist.
His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.
At the beginning of 2022 – after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth – Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. ‘I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,’ he said.
It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.
For two years, Walter Isaacson had unprecedented access. He shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?©2023 Walter Isaacson (P)2023 Simon & Schuster, UK

Insightful and exciting
Excellent deep dive on Musk’s life and achievements so far and his mode of thinking as well as reasons why he does as he do. Recommended.

I loved it
a lots of learning, from the good and the bad of the Mask experiences. not sure I would be ready to work for him, spice I had the impression his companies are more like a sect, but even though it is impressing what he has done

Too much yet too little
It appears the author really wanted to cover all of Musk’s companies and all milestones in the book which led to dilution of diving deep into Musk as a business person, as a father, as a husband etc. The last one third of the book felt extremely rushed and covering too much with little detail. Pick this up if you are a Musk fan or know nothing about Musk, else stick to the wikipedia article, you’ll get the idea.

Wonderful story written in a great way
Loved the story and how it was written by Isaacson. It’s great to get an unfiltered view on Musk and how he and his companies work.
