具体描述
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.

###就怕無政府主義者有文化技術

评分##正文开始前的对SV的描述很到位～整个传记倒是非常平庸了。比如，Musk同学的动机在字里行间流露得少得可怜，作者似乎在写的时候陷入了很多传记作家的“偶像崇拜”式叙事，客观不够。
评分##Before I read this book, both G and I wanted to marry Musk. Now we both lost interest and advised his sister to not prioritize this book. Successful people often have a "I don't give a fxxk" vibe, and Musk has it more than anyone else. He is admired and feared. Truly an Iron Man-like figure. Mostly read in Feb, 2016, on the beach of Punta Cana.
评分##崇拜这个人是一回事 这个传记本身写得好不好是另一回事……写传记的能客观点儿憋犯花痴吗？

评分##说到底Tesla和SpaceX是硅谷文化的公司 讲究快糙狠 :D
评分对钢铁侠有兴趣的朋友，不妨从waitbutwhy.com上的三篇神文看起，比这本书好看多了。别问我是谁，我叫红领巾。
评分##把elon吹上天了……还是更爱jobs，更sentimetal更subtle
