Fascinating and well written about a flawed complex genius. From the stupidity of buying and rebranding Twitter to the awesomeness of SpaceX you have to admit Musk is a fascinating study. But the damage he’s doing in 2025 to his country and companies I believe will cement his place as a net negative.

Overpriced

I really enjoyed reading this book. İm not usually a person who starts and finishes a book but this book was an exception. It was truly a work of art and should be appreciated more.

Very well done

Could have told in 200 less pages. Well written but got a little tedious. Showed Elon’s genius, that he is crazy in so many ways, total lack of concern for others not on the same page and really screwed up in personal relationships A little scary his power will dictate politics to come for four years Hopefully the genius side will produce good results and not just make him more fabulously wealthy

Lazy, cliche-filled, poor attempt to understand the man’s twisted psyche. Isaacson is bizarrely credulous and a poor writer to boot.

I enjoyed learning more about Elon but I really didn’t care to learn about the political ideals of the author. Those were infused throughout the book and made obvious in his comments.

Too much jumping around.

Elon is an amazing person: strong, brutal, but necessary. Great book and research Walter Isaacson! Loved every word!

Pretty good summary of how Elon’s life has unfolded and his thinking process behind building companies.
