An excellent read about the man who is the greatest innovator of our time. I was amazed at the insight and depth into Elon’s life. Very well written.

Feels different from the other bios Isaacson has written, all excellent, so that had me a little worried at first, but his subject (Musk) is so interesting and consequential and essential to understand, and the author was given such a closeup, real-time front row view, that while different it is still an absolute fabulous read. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Extremely insightful to take a peek into the inner workings of a visionaries mind.

Whether you like or dislike Elon Musk, he has done extraordinary things in “unique “ ways. The book is well written and worth the 600+ pages. I look forward to the next 600, as it will require a sequel.

If an author of fiction wrote a book with Musk as a character it would seem ridiculously unbelievable.

Seems like most geniuses are eccentric..interesting look at a brilliant visionary.

Enjoyed learning a lot about Elon, his quirks and what inspires him to do what he does. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn about Space X, Tesla and how it all got started to what it is today. Oh and the whole Twitter thing! Definitely buy it and read it.

Whether you like or hate the man, Musk has changed the world as if he has had 3 or 4 lifetimes. Isaacson lays his character, accomplishments and failures out to bare. Additionally as you learn more about Musk I find his tenacity inspiring and motivating. Worth your time to read!

As shown in these reviews and by the author, Elon is a polarizing character. This is/was true of virtually every notable person throughout history, good or bad. Musk has a vision, intelligence and drive rarely experienced in modern times. While his lack of social skills, refusal to accept status quo, and never surrender approach results in discomfort or distaste for many, it is what is needed to break through the evolutionary stagnation of our era. I did not think the writing of this book was especially good. The events covered were all pretty much public record, even those that were not entirely correct. I would have appreciated a more in-depth look at the family, friends and lovers that seem to understand him better than anyone else and have remained loyal to Musk for so many years. The writing seemed less of an insider’s story than one pulled from media archives. Still, worth reading and I’m looking forward to “Part Two”.

Just like WI did on Steve Jobs, he gives us a unique inside and behind the scenes on how the greatest minds of our time work, live and ultimately created the world we live in and became trailblazers. Amazing read!
