内容简介
······

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.

评论 ······

正文开始前的对SV的描述很到位～整个传记倒是非常平庸了。比如，Musk同学的动机在字里行间流露得少得可怜，作者似乎在写的时候陷入了很多传记作家的“偶像崇拜”式叙事，客观不够。

到长白山的机场和路上看完最终10%。每一个翻页都能让人感觉震惊和佩服他的程度又刷新纪录。刚读了前三十页已经完全判定这将是我读过的有史以来最棒的传记没有之一

我的教主。。。In Elon I turst!

立场相对比较客观。Zip2 Paypal Tesla spaceX Solarcity 越往后看越觉得现在这样做个网站，写个 App 的行为没有意义。
