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'.
