For some the genius of the century, for others a mad scientist, Elon Musk undoubtedly manages to attract attention not only in the technological industry but in general in the whole world. With proven above-average intelligence, the man behind Tesla and SpaceX is both praised and condemned for his obsessive, often intolerant perfectionism. Elon Musk is an amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists: Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes and Steve Jobs. But more than anyone else, Musk has devoted all his energy and vast wealth to inventing a future as rich and far-reaching as that of the visionaries of the golden age of science fiction. This exceptional biography written by Ashley Vance manages to capture very objectively the man who is often compared to the famous Tony Stark, without allowing Musk himself to interfere with the content. Covering his childhood years, all the way to the electric car and rockets, Vance penetrates the mind of the most intriguing figure in Silicon Valley, revealing details not only about the workings of his companies but also about his personal life. The witty style, vivid storytelling, and personal interviews with Musk and the people who were with him in his most important moments are what make this book a one-shot read.
