英文简介:
From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era–a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence.
Oh, and took over Twitter.
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies.
One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh.
He was in the hospital for a week.
But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.
His father’s impact on his psyche would linger.
He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.
At the beginning of 2022–after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth–Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas.
“I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,” he said.
It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution.
Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground.
Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground.
Now he had the chance to own the playground.
For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries.
The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?
中文简介:
这是史蒂夫·乔布斯和其他畅销传记的作者所写的，讲述了我们这个时代最迷人、最有争议的创新者的令人惊讶的亲密故事——一位打破规则的远见卓识者，帮助引领世界进入电动汽车、私人太空探索时代和人工智能。
哦，还接管了推特。
当埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）小时候在南非时，他经常被恶霸殴打。
有一天，一群人把他推下水泥台阶，并踢他，直到他的脸肿成一团肉。
他在医院住了一个星期。
但与他的父亲（一名工程师、流氓和魅力十足的幻想家）所造成的情感创伤相比，身体上的伤痕并不重要。
他父亲对他心灵的影响将持续存在。
他成长为一个坚韧而又脆弱的男孩，容易出现哲基尔和海德式的情绪突然波动，对风险有极高的容忍度，对戏剧的渴望，史诗般的使命感，以及冷酷无情的疯狂强度。
次具有破坏性。
2022 年初——SpaceX 向轨道发射了 31 枚火箭、特斯拉销售了 100 万辆汽车、他成为地球上最富有的人——这一年，马斯克悲伤地谈到了他煽动戏剧的冲动。
他说：“我需要改变自己的心态，摆脱危机模式，这种状态已经持续了大约十四年，或者可以说是我一生的大部分时间。
”这是一个充满渴望的评论，而不是新年决心。
正如他所说，他正在秘密购买世界终极游乐场推特的股票。
这些年来，每当他身处黑暗的地方，他的思绪就会回到操场上被欺负的情景。
现在他有机会拥有操场了。
两年来，艾萨克森跟踪马斯克，参加他的会议，和他一起参观他的工厂，并花几个小时采访他、他的家人、朋友、同事和对手。
结果是揭露内幕的故事，充满了令人惊叹的胜利和动荡的故事，解决了这样一个问题：驱动马斯克的恶魔是否也是驱动创新和进步的因素？
