Elon Musk is a man who has seen and done it all. Being the inspiration for a movie you may have heard of called The Social Network, he is an entrepreneur with a vision to change the world around him. He has been successful in many aspects of his life but what makes Elon Musk an icon to millions around the world is his passion for science and innovation. With Tesla cars, SpaceX rockets, and Solar City solar panels, Elon Musk seems to be onto something that is working. In this audiobook by Ashlee Vance, you will learn about how Elon Musk became so famous while also understanding what motivates him to continue his work in engineering.
This biography of Elon Musk is the first biography of the mega-billionaire engineer. It chronicles his life from his childhood in South Africa, where he built a radio out of a broken TV and later dropped out of college to pursue his vision for Tesla Motors, through his latest ventures - SpaceX and OpenAI. Tesla and SpaceX are at the forefront of change in automotive engineering and space exploration, as well as in artificial intelligence technology.
It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Elon Musk's life and work that Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future is not merely another biography. It is also an attempt to bring together all of the many threads in his story - from his formative years as a brilliant child prodigy through today's roles at two of the world's most influential companies.
Elon Musk is the co-founder of Tesla, and SpaceX, two companies he designed to revolutionize how Americans get around and explore space. Elon Musk's vision of a future free from fossil fuels and crammed with electric cars, rockets, and solar power plants sounds fantastic on paper but has been slow to materialize in reality. This memoir gives listeners an inside look at his whirlwind life as well as his vision for the future.
