Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future
Author: Ashlee Vance
Genre: Non Fiction
Format: Paperback
South African born Elon Musk is the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity. Musk aims to save our planet, send citizens into space, form a colony on Mars, and make money while doing it. He is the real-life inspiration for the Iron Man series of films starring Robert Downey Junior.
The personal tale of Musk’s life is filled with drama. He was a remarkably bright kid who faced brutal bullying at school and abuse from his father. Despite these challenges and the violence of apartheid South Africa, Musk thrived academically and attended the University of Pennsylvania, funding his education by turning his house into a club and hosting massive parties.
Musk achieved significant success with a pair of dot-com ventures, including PayPal, which was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002. After being ousted as CEO, he entered a period of uncertainty, investing his fortune in rockets and electric cars, much to the surprise of his friends. During this time, his marriage fell apart as his technological obsessions took over his life.
Elon Musk is often compared to Steve Jobs as a visionary of the present and future. For the past twelve months, he has been shadowed by tech reporter Ashlee Vance. Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future is an important, exciting, and intelligent account of the real-life Iron Man.
