This biography is an easily digestible page-turner covering everything from Musk's family history to present day* in excruciating detail: a wide ride of childhood torment, risky start ups, celestial highs and inches-away-from-bankruptcy lows. Elon Musk is truly larger than life and his optimism is infectious. Yet somehow the enormity of his accomplishments --manufacturing electric cars, building rockets from scratch, or funding accessible solar energy -- are still just steps along his true calling of paving the way for humans to colonize Mars.
