Elon Musk is undeniably a business titan. He controls massive companies like Tesla and SpaceX, and has cemented himself in history forever – but how much do you really know about the man behind it all?
Inside this detailed account of Elon Musk’s life and career, you’ll learn about his childhood and schooling in South Africa, his humble beginnings on the American continent, and his first endeavours into business. From the early Zip2 and X.com which marked the beginnings of Musk’s career, to the cutting-edge SpaceX and Tesla we know him for today, you’ll discover how an obscure and unassuming idea led to the founding of SpaceX, how Tesla revolutionized electric cars, and how these companies (and Musk himself) continue to endure against all odds.
But beyond the business, you’ll also have a chance to get a glimpse of the man himself – Musk’s polarizing public image, his countless hijinks, and famous sensations like the Not-A-Flamethrower and the media-rating site Pravduh. From Musk’s political and religious views to his appearance in key internet subcultures, Elon Musk: The Biography of a Modern Genius and Business Titan gives a unique and powerful insight into one of the world’s most famous men.

Elon Reeve Musk is a South African–born American technology entrepreneur, investor, and engineer. He became a multimillionaire early in his life following the sale of his start-up company Zip2. His net worth only grew from there, and in October 2018, Forbes listed him as the fifty-fourth-richest person in the world.
The businessman is best known for founding X.com, which subsequently became PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla Motors, and the Boring Company. He is also a co-founder of OpenAI, a nonprofit research company focused on promoting artificial intelligence, and Neuralink, a neurotechnology company that aims to develop interfaces for brain-computer interactions.
Elon Musk is a public figure with high goals, such as promoting the production and consumption of sustainable energy in order to reduce the consequences of global warming, and he is a space enthusiast with the dream of establishing a human colony on Mars. The billionaire is a well-known philanthropist with a golden heart that’s eager to help whenever he can, and he has a very active social media presence, often sharing his opinions or engaging with other people through his Twitter account.
In spite of his good intention and overall charisma, Elon Musk has had his fair share of controversies. The mainstream media doesn’t hold him in high regard and mostly focuses on his eccentricities and aloof character, going as far as conveniently ignoring circumstances or his good intentions.
Regardless of other’s opinions on him, Elon Musk stays true to himself and his goals. He keeps being his genuine self no matter what and works hard to make his dreams a reality while also staying up to date to the latest news and internet sensations known as memes.
