In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs—a real-life Tony Stark—and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers."
Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius’s life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits.
Vance uses Musk’s story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who 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, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including 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.
Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans.
##Elon在08年的时候能挺过来,除了靠他伟大愿景,聚拢的人才,还有强大的执行力以外,政府关系和一点运气也是必不可少。感谢老东家eBay收购Paypal时给了Elon第一桶金,让他在为人类造福的道路上一步步走下去
评分##Elon Musk 的故事本身很传奇,很多的细节让人难忘。 但这本书就有些问题。 书里有过多无关的细节,每讲到一个员工就要介绍下生平,可是大部分人根本不用去记。这样显得零零碎碎的,没有主线,如果像乔布斯传,每章一个主题就好很多。 还有就是 Elon Musk 本身的故事讲得太少,比如婚姻,孩子,就一笔带过,很不完整,感觉只是看到了一个平面。其余几个看不到。
评分##我觉得这本书的高度 短期内很难被超越了 特别推荐阅读
评分##没看完。我就说不能看活人的传记吧,古人讲盖棺定论是非常有道理的。

评分##花了很久读原版,后面关于特斯拉SpX复杂得我头疼。我读到一半的时候,觉得EM,聪明、有使命感、下定决心一定会去做,但最重要的还是聪明,他做的就算是宏大如spaceX还是考虑了军方、学术演讲、商用等等可以赚到钱才去做。他不是超级英雄免费为世界花几百个亿。他特别明白自己与这个世界的运转规律。他喜欢科幻这种偏nerd的浪漫感,对我来说挺有趣的。读到最后,我觉得他杰出,也是失控的,对于不断增长的野心和愿景,对于生活和亲密关系的无措,对于所有“我偏要勉强”的执念。毕竟他从这些而来。但无论如何,相对于世界最顶尖聪明的硅谷人都在想怎么卖更多广告怎么获得更多点击,他有在认真为人类制造伟大的东西。比如电动车专利全部开源免费,可回收航天火箭和登陆火星计划。这一点就足够敬佩了。
评分##awesome...definitely inspired me to live with purpose and passion.
评分##2016.05.16 - 2016.09.14 立场相对比较客观。Zip2 Paypal Tesla spaceX Solarcity 越往后看越觉得现在这样做个网站,写个 App 的行为没有意义。
