Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, And The Quest For A Fantastic Future  (Paperback, Vance Ashlee)

Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future: Elon Musk, the businessman and inventor behind SolarCity, Tesla, and SpaceX, sold PayPal, one of his internet businesses, for $1.5 billion. From his turbulent beginnings in South Africa and flight to the United States to his stunning technical inventions and economic endeavours, Ashlee Vance portrays the complete spectacle and arc of the genius's life and work. One of the most important issues of our day is explored by Vance using Musk's story: Can the nation of innovators and creators that dominated the modern world for a century still compete in the face of intense international competition? He contends that Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Thomas Edison are all present in Musk, who he compares to them.
