Elon Musk is the world’s richest person, a billionaire tech CEO and controversial owner of X, formerly known as Twitter. Yet he remains something of an enigma, whom many have tried and failed to understand.
Acclaimed biographer Walter Isaacson is the latest to take on this daunting task. For his new book, Elon Musk, he shadowed the mogul for two years – watching him rule over his tech empire, poring over emails and text messages, speaking to those closest to (and most estranged from) the 52-year-old. The result is a 615-page behemoth that chronicles the life of the unnervingly candid Tesla and Space X billionaire – about whom so much has also previously been written about – in surprising detail.
