SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY APPLE, AMAZON, THE TIMES AND FINANCIAL TIMES

Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk offers the most intimate, complete and revelatory portrait of the most fascinating and controversial innovator in the world.

For two years, Isaacson had unprecedented access to Musk, his workplaces, his family, friends, coworkers and adversaries – nothing was off-limits.

Musk’s journey from humble beginnings to one of the wealthiest people on the planet is a thrilling, mind-bending story and nobody could tell it better. Filled with amazing tales of triumph and turmoil, and lessons about leadership and business, it ultimately addresses the question everyone wants to ask: why is Elon Musk so successful?

Kritikerstimmen

‘Its portrait of the tech maverick is fascinating. . . a persuasive mixture of alarm and deep admiration'
‘[Isaacson] has done something amazing with the Musk biography which is to write a 688-page quick read’
‘Whatever you think of Mr Musk, he is a man worth understanding – which makes this a book worth reading’
‘A penetrating new biography’
‘A beat-by-beat book that follows the tycoon inside important rooms, as well as exploring obscure regions of his mind’
‘A comprehensive, deeply reported chronicle of the world-shaping tech mogul’s life’
‘An experienced biographer’s comprehensive study’
‘He forms his own conclusions, which are mostly admirably balanced and mature. . . Isaacson, in his quest for a comprehensive audit of the Musk phenomenon, errs slightly on the side of the voyeur in these encounters, but I can’t blame him. It’s quite the spectacle’
‘The book contains a series of illuminating anecdotes about Musk’
'Isaacson offers both an engaging chronicle of his subject’s busy life so far and some compelling answers’
‘The most complete profile of Musk yet’
'There’s not much middle ground on Musk – people love him or hate him – but Isaacson is best positioned to figure out what makes him tick’
‘The resulting book delves deep into the billionaire’s demons, including childhood bullies and a difficult father, and interrogates their relationship to his success’
‘Isaacson deftly handles complicated matters like the development of electric vehicles, rockets and artificial intelligence while also deeply exploring Musk’s background and family’
‘This fast-paced biography. . . [is] a head-spinning tale about a vain, brilliant, sometimes cruel figure whose ambitions are actively shaping the future of human life' (Ron Charles)
‘Everything you'd expect from a book on Musk. . . While the stories are fascinating and guaranteed to spark a mountain of coverage, founders and entrepreneurs will also unearth valuable lessons’
‘The book is bursting with stories. . . A deeply engrossing tale of a spectacular American innovator’
‘Walter Isaacson’s intimate account of a tech titan’
‘this biography of Elon Musk is still fascinating. How could it not be? . . . He has spoken to practically everybody’
‘a highly readable portrait of a very unusual personality. . . It is a considerable achievement on Isaacson’s part to have persuaded this reviewer. . . to adopt a more sympathetic view of Musk and set aside much of the familiar media caricature of him.’
‘Described by the FT as a “688-page quick read” for the TikTok generation, Isaacson’s biography of the South African entrepreneur races along at bone-rattling speed. That certainly makes for an entertaining exploration of Musk the celebrity’

a lots of learning, from the good and the bad of the Mask experiences. not sure I would be ready to work for him, spice I had the impression his companies are more like a sect, but even though it is impressing what he has done

I loved it

Insightful and exciting

Loved the story and how it was written by Isaacson. It’s great to get an unfiltered view on Musk and how he and his companies work.

Wonderful story written in a great way

It appears the author really wanted to cover all of Musk’s companies and all milestones in the book which led to dilution of diving deep into Musk as a business person, as a father, as a husband etc. The last one third of the book felt extremely rushed and covering too much with little detail. Pick this up if you are a Musk fan or know nothing about Musk, else stick to the wikipedia article, you’ll get the idea.

Too much yet too little
