In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs—a real-life Tony Stark—and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers."
Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius’s life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits.
Vance uses Musk’s story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk—one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history—is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy.
Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans.

评分##把elon吹上天了……还是更爱jobs,更sentimetal更subtle
评分##说到底Tesla和SpaceX是硅谷文化的公司 讲究快糙狠 :D
评分##没看完。我就说不能看活人的传记吧,古人讲盖棺定论是非常有道理的。
评分##花了很久读原版,后面关于特斯拉SpX复杂得我头疼。我读到一半的时候,觉得EM,聪明、有使命感、下定决心一定会去做,但最重要的还是聪明,他做的就算是宏大如spaceX还是考虑了军方、学术演讲、商用等等可以赚到钱才去做。他不是超级英雄免费为世界花几百个亿。他特别明白自己与这个世界的运转规律。他喜欢科幻这种偏nerd的浪漫感,对我来说挺有趣的。读到最后,我觉得他杰出,也是失控的,对于不断增长的野心和愿景,对于生活和亲密关系的无措,对于所有“我偏要勉强”的执念。毕竟他从这些而来。但无论如何,相对于世界最顶尖聪明的硅谷人都在想怎么卖更多广告怎么获得更多点击,他有在认真为人类制造伟大的东西。比如电动车专利全部开源免费,可回收航天火箭和登陆火星计划。这一点就足够敬佩了。
评分###就怕無政府主義者有文化技術
