Editorial Reviews
Review
“Mr. Vance tells the stories of both SpaceX and Tesla with intricacy and insight. . . . What does come through is a sense of legitimate wonder at what humans can accomplish when they aim high, and aim weird. -- Dwight Garner, New York Times

“[T]his work will likely serve as the definitive account of a man whom so far we’ve seen mostly through caricature. By the final pages, too, any reader will sense the need to put comparisons to Steve Jobs aside. Give Musk credit. There is no one like him.” -- New York Times Book Review

“[A] spirited and riveting biography.” -- Wall Street Journal

“The SpaceX and Tesla founder certainly sees setbacks as an unavoidable part of innovation. But a brilliant new biography paints a picture of him as an obsessive, intolerant perfectionist.” -- Financial Times

“Fascinating and superbly researched…” -- The Guardian UK --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
`Ashlee Vance`s new book, `Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX and the Quest for a Fantastic Future,` is a tremendous look into arguably the world`s most important entrepreneur. Vance paints an unforgettable picture of Musk`s unique personality, insatiable drive and ability to thrive through hardship.` - The Washington Post `It is the book I have enjoyed most this year.` - Tyler Cowen, famed economist and best-selling author
`The best business book I have read in years.` - Don Graham, former publisher of The Washington Post

`Exhaustively reported . . . this work will likely serve as the definitive account of a man whom so far we`ve seen mostly through caricature. By the final pages, too, any reader will sense the need to put comparisons to Steve Jobs aside. Give Musk credit. There is no one like him.` - The New York Times

`Ashlee Vance`s portrait of the entrepreneur at mid-life is an essential read . . . a riveting portrait of Silicon Valley`s most driven entrepreneur since Steve Jobs.` - The Financial Times

`The result is a book that is smart, light on its feet and possesses a crunchy thoroughness. . . . Mr. Vance delivers a well-calibrated portrait of Mr. Musk, so that we comprehend both his friends and his enemies. It`s a book with many ancillary pleasures. Mr. Vance brings us up to date on the states of green energy and space launches. He also veers away from his subject just often enough, offering profiles of the frequently brilliant people who work alongside Mr. Musk The best thing Mr. Vance does in this book, though, is tell Mr. Musk`s story simply and well.`- The New York Times

`Really good biographies stand out in two ways. First, they provide lots of zesty stories that haven`t been told before. Beyond that, they explain all the zigzags and false clues of a prominent person`s life, in a way that makes the total picture come into focus. . . it`s clear that this new Musk bio delivers the goods in both respects. . . Ashlee Vance provides a wealth of insights about how this tech titan operates.` - Forbes

`Vance`s lively book yields all manner of fascinating insights about Musk`s companies, his vision, and his personal life.` - Slate

`Of the many profiles of business leaders, Vance`s take on Musk is among the best. The author`s objective and unbiased viewpoint captures Musk`s good and bad, his achievements and failures.` - The Motley Fool
`Vance left few, if any, stones unturned . . . A detailed portrait of a figure both loved and feared--sometimes by the same people at the same time.` - The Space Review

`Vance`s book is a masterful piece of reporting.` - Vice
`Musk rivals Jobs in the same way this book rivals Isaacson`s classic.` - Whitney Tilson Founder, Kase Capital Management --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

South African born Elon Musk is the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity. Musk wants to save our planet; he wants to send citizens into space, to form a colony on Mars; he wants to make money while doing these things; and he wants us all to know about it. He is the real-life inspiration for the Iron Man series of films starring Robert Downey Junior.

The personal tale of Musk’s life comes with all the trappings one associates with a great, drama-filled story. He was a freakishly bright kid who was bullied brutally at school, and abused by his father. In the midst of these rough conditions, and the violence of apartheid South Africa, Musk still thrived academically and attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he paid his own way through school by turning his house into a club and throwing massive parties.

He started a pair of huge dot-com successes, including PayPal, which eBay acquired for $1.5 billion in 2002. Musk was forced out as CEO and so began his lost years in which he decided to go it alone and baffled friends by investing his fortune in rockets and electric cars. Meanwhile Musk’s marriage disintegrated as his technological obsessions took over his life ...

Elon Musk is the Steve Jobs of the present and the future, and for the past twelve months, he has been shadowed by tech reporter, Ashlee Vance. Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of Spacex and Tesla is Shaping our Future is an important, exciting and intelligent account of the real-life Iron Man.

Elon Musk – kako milijarder i čelnik Spacexa i Tesle oblikuje našu budućnost - Autor: Ashlee Vance
Knjiga prati život Elona Muska od djetinjstva do vremena provedenog u Zip2 i PayPalu, a zatim u SpaceX, Tesli i SolarCityu. U knjizi je Vance razgovarao s Muskom, suradnicima i onima koji su bili s njim u najvažnijim trenucima njegova života; Musk nije imao kontrolu nad sadržajem biografije. Ashlee Vance pruža nenadmašan pogled na izvanredan život najdjelotvornijeg poduzetnika našega doba. Knjiga oslikava portret složenog čovjeka koji je obnovio američku industriju i potaknuo nove razine inovacije – od PayPala do Tesle, SpaceXa i SolarCity – nadilaženja poteškoća, zarađivanja milijardi i stvaranja mnogih neprijatelja na putu.
“Osnivač Spacexa i Tesle svakako vidi neuspjehe kao neizbježan dio inovacija. Ova briljantna nova biografija slika je njega kao opsesivnog, netolerantnog perfekcionista. ” – Financial Times
“Najprodavanija poslovna knjiga na ljestvici New York Timesa”
“Najprodavanija poslovno-poduzetnička knjiga na Amazonu”
“Knjiga godine prema Amazonu (poslovna i ulagačka kategorija)”
“Najbolja poslovna knjiga godine prema Wall Street Journalu”
„Čudesan prikaz vjerojatno najvažnijeg poduzetnika na svijetu. Vance pruža nezaboravnu sliku Muskove jedinstvene osobnosti, nezasitnog pokretačkog nagona i sposobnosti rasta kroz tegobe.”- Washington Post
