New biography on Elon Musk is now available

Walter Isaacson”™s long-awaited biography of Elon Musk is being released today by Simon & Schuster.

“Elon Musk” follows the high-tech innovator”™s life journey from a tumultuous childhood in South Africa through his often-controversial leadership of Tesla and SpaceX to his audacious acquisition of Twitter.

“For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries,” said the publisher”™s promotional page for the book. “The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?”

“Elon Musk” runs 688 pages and has a retail price of $35.00. This is the latest biography by Isaacson, whose previous books include “Steve Jobs,” “Leonardo da Vinci” and “Einstein.”
