Elon Musk

Walter Isaacson provides an intimate portrait of the mercurial innovator behind Tesla, SpaceX, and X. Shadowing Musk for two years, Isaacson explores how childhood trauma and a "rogue" father forged a man driven by a permanent "crisis mode" and a destructive tolerance for risk. The biography questions if the same demons that fuel Musk’s personal turmoil are the necessary catalysts for his revolutionary progress in space, AI, and electric vehicles.
