From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this
is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial
innovator of our era—a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into
the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial
intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.

 When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies.
One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his
face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the
physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his
father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

 His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet
vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an
exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of
mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.

 At the beginning of 2022—after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one
rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest
man on earth—Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. “I need
to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about
fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,” he said.

 It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he
was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over
the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied
on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.

 For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his
factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends,
coworkers, and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled
with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the
demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?
