Elon Musk

I read this several years ago so my memory is a bit hazy but I recall thinking it was generally worshipful and a bit of a hagiography (it predates the first Trump presidency but in recent interviews the author, who has a fascination with space moguls, still talks about Musk like he's Steve Jobs). Nevertheless, it's a comprehensive bio up to that point so now when I hear a reference to an ex-wife, for example, or disputes about who actually founded Tesla, I already know the deal. So it's worth reading for background, but I am perhaps unreasonably going to hold it against the author for not warning us we have a billionaire white nationalist on our hands (an issue the author has avoided touching on in all his nterviews about Musk that I've seen, so maybe not that unreasonable).

History, anecdotes, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Having Musk be on the world stage and the scope of his enterprises is a huge inspiration to do big things.

Fascinating guy, well-written bio. Sometimes reads a little worshipful with obligatory bad character bits included and explained away in the same breath. I think I feel the same way as Ashlee Vance - I don't want to work for the guy (but I'm sure he doesn't want me working for him either); and I so dearly want him to succeed in all of his endeavors that I'm willing to forgive a lot.
