Summary

A riveting YA biography that shows how a once-bullied school boy became an iconic visionary who the New York Times described as "arguably the most important and successful entrepreneur in the world".

Elon Musk is the visionary behind SpaceX and CEO of the electric car company Tesla. He is working on unique and daring improvements to both public transit and solar energy. And then, there's his highly-publicized plans for colonizing Mars....

But behind the mind-blowing headlines and legendary drive is the story of a bullied and beaten school boy, who through creativity and determination decided to rewrite his story and find his own way to make the world a better place. And to do so with a sense of fun and style.

From hosting raves to pay for college to re-writing the rules on space travel, Elon Musk has always gone his own way. And now, award-winning investigative journalist, Anna Crowley Redding takes listeners on a well-researched trip through Elon's life and accomplishments.

a quick overview without too much details

I've read other books being a bit more detailed but this one is a quick read with a good overview of his life up until now.

I don't like the narrator reading the "road trip alert" kind of info boxes. it's really annoying but you can live with it :)

what a guy!

inspirational what can be achieved in one life.the book itself may be a bit gushing for some people but it's written to celebrate the achievement of a man who is taking on modern world problems and driving ahead of all other people/companies/ideas. it's hard to not be slightly impressed by his life
