ELON MUSK - MICHAEL VLISMAS TASCHENBUCH

A NEW EDITION OF MICHAEL VLISMAS' EYE-OPENING BIOGRAPHY OF ELON MUSK  NOW WITH NEW MATERIAL
COVERING THE LATEST IN MUSK'S FAMILY AND BUSINESS LIFE In 2022 Elon Musk - one of the richest
and best-known people on earth - made headlines worldwide with his bid to buy Twitter  and he
is often in the news for his entrepreneurial exploits and his controversial tweets. Who is this
boundary-pushing billionaire with grand plans of inhabiting Mars  and what lies at the heart of
his vision? Why is he so utterly unafraid of risk? As an awkward Pretoria schoolboy who loved
comics and science fiction  Musk's early years and singular family background were crucial in
forming his stellar ambitions. Journalist and author Michael Vlismas  who attended the same
high school as Musk  knows well the environment that shaped him and offers new insights into
Musk's development  including his troubled relationship with his father. Tracing his remarkable
life  from his South African childhood to his move to Canada at 17 and then to the US - where
Musk made millions out of PayPal and built Tesla and SpaceX into two of the world's most famous
companies - this is the revealing new story of a man driven to preserve the optimism he sees in
humanity and find a future for humans 'out there among the stars'.
