Elon Musk: How The Billionaire CEO Of Spacex And Tesla Is Shaping Our Future

In Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, veteran technology journalist Ashlee Vance provides the
first inside look into the extraordinary life and times of Silicon Valley's most audacious entrepreneur. Written with exclusive
access to Musk, his family and friends, the book traces the entrepreneur's journey from a rough upbringing in South Africa
to the pinnacle of the global business world. Vance spent more than 30 hours in conversation with Musk and interviewed close
to 300 people to tell the tumultuous stories of Musk's world-changing companies: PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX and SolarCity,
and to characterize a man who has renewed American industry and sparked new levels of innovation while making plenty of enemies
along the way.

Vance uses Musk's story to explore one of the pressing questions of our time: can the nation of inventors and creators which
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 amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists
like 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.
