Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future
Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, 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 is an 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

Such an interesting and well-written biography!instagram || my blog || twitterloved every bit of it, and was not expecting Musk to be any different than how he was described as.
Let me offer this thought: SpaceX is the coolest and most exciting company in the world at this moment in time.Yes, Tesla is also extremely cool. And inspiring. But nothing can beat that feeling of power, wonder and deep inspiration that SpaceX will give you as soon as you start to understand what that company is actually doing. As Vance says, "SpaceX IS Elon Musk". So who is this man? How is it humanly possible to achieve what he has achieved? What else can he achieve in the future? Will he

4.5 starsBillionaire Elon Musk is a businessman, engineer, and inventor with a radical vision for the future of mankind. In fact Musk wants nothing less than to establish a human colony on Mars.....with a view toward exploring Jupiter's moon Europa someday. Jupiter and EuropaMusk fears there will be another mass extinction event - like the asteroid that destroyed 75% of Earth's species at the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary 65 million years ago - and he wants people to have somewhere to go.

Read for Book Riot's 2017 Read Harder challenge: #13 Read a nonfiction book about technologyThis book had its ups and downs for me: the high points being Elon's early years and how he got started in the business world with companies like PayPal. The low points were the loooong chapters detailing how Tesla Motors came to be, and the technicalities behind rockets being built. In theory, I found all of this to be interesting, but while reading I found those bits to be a bit boring.Overall, a pretty
There are few people outside of the fiction world that I truly admire, but barring some unseen or future tragedy, I think Musk might well be on the way to becoming my hero.If I didn't know any better, I might be looking at all his stated claims and seeing all the echoes of Asimov and Heinlein being dragged out of the page and brought to life.Skip the whole Iron Man image for a second.Let's talk about Ayn Rand.Musk is John Galt. As in Atlas Shrugged. Sure, he's also Dagney, too, or perhaps more
