具体描述
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.

##这世界的商业定律或者人类规则对99.99%的人都是有效的，但总有那么0.01%只秉持一个信念，那就是“干翻这个世界”，而且居然还能成功。Elon Musk不是第二个乔布斯，而是一个凭自己意念行动move the needle的人。读这个书的时候总是疑惑，不确定是因为Elon Musk真是逆了天，还是因为他运气好得离谱啊 #这个世界是你的，也是我的，但终究是Elon Musk这样的疯子的
##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。
##Before I read this book, both G and I wanted to marry Musk. Now we both lost interest and advised his sister to not prioritize this book. Successful people often have a "I don't give a fxxk" vibe, and Musk has it more than anyone else. He is admired and feared. Truly an Iron Man-like figure. Mostly read in Feb, 2016, on the beach of Punta Cana.
