From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this incredibly intimate story is about the world's most amazing, yet controversial, inventor. With his help, the world moved into the era of electric cars, and Musk is responsible for taking space exploration and artificial intelligence to the next level. Yes, he even bought Twitter! As a child, Elon Musk lived in South Africa and was often bullied. One day, he was rolled down the stairs and beaten until his face turned into a meatball. Elon spent a week in the hospital, but the physical scars were nothing compared to the emotional pain that his father, a professional, con artist, and an inveterate dreamer, inflicted on him. In early 2022—a year after SpaceX launched 31 rockets into orbit, Tesla sold more than a million cars, and Musk became the richest man on Earth—Ilon was wryly discussing his insatiable desire to stir up drama. For two years, Walter Isaacson shadowed Musk, attending his meetings and conferences, accompanying him to factories, and spending much of his time interviewing Elon Musk himself and his family, friends, employees, and opponents. The result is a remarkable story of Musk’s life, marked by triumphs and setbacks, that begs the question: Are those demons the driving force behind Musk’s innovation and progress?
Walter Isaacson is the author of biographies of American chemist Jennifer Doudna, Leonardo da Vinci, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Henry Kissinger, and Benjamin Franklin. He is also the author of The Innovators and co-author of The Wise Men. He has served as an editor at Time, executive director of CNN, and executive director of the Aspen Institute. He was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2023. Isaacson is a professor at Tulane University.
