Book testimonials
‘[Isaacson] has done something amazing with the Musk biography which is to write a 688-page quick read’
― Financial Times
‘Whatever you think of Mr Musk, he is a man worth understanding – which makes this a book worth reading’
― The Economist
‘A penetrating new biography’
― Daily Mail
‘A beat-by-beat book that follows the tycoon inside important rooms, as well as exploring obscure regions of his mind’
― The Times
‘He forms his own conclusions, which are mostly admirably balanced and mature. . . Isaacson, in his quest for a comprehensive audit of the Musk phenomenon, errs slightly on the side of the voyeur in these encounters, but I can’t blame him. It’s quite the spectacle’
