Do autor de Steve Jobs e outras biografias de sucesso, chega-nos a história surpreendentemente íntima de um dos inovadores mais controversos e fascinantes da atualidade - um visionário avesso a regras que levou o mundo para a era dos carros elétricos, da exploração espacial de iniciativa privada e da inteligência artificial. Ah, e comprou o Twitter. Durante a sua infância, na África do Sul, Elon Musk foi vítima de bullying. Um dia, foi empurrado de umas escadas de cimento abaixo e pontapeado no rosto até este ficar uma massa ensanguentada e inchada. Ficou internado durante uma semana. Mas as mazelas físicas eram insignificantes quando comparadas com as feridas emocionais infligidas pelo seu pai, um carismático e engenhoso fantasista que agia por conta própria. Quando Elon teve alta do hospital, o pai repreendeu-o. «Tive de ficar de pé uma hora a ouvi-lo gritar comigo, a chamar-me idiota e a dizer-me que era um inútil», recorda. O impacto do pai na sua psique permaneceria. Transformou-se num homem-criança duro, apesar de vulnerável, com uma tolerância extraordinariamente alta ao risco, sedento de drama e com um sentido épico de missão e uma obstinação maníaca, tão insensível quanto, por vezes, destrutiva. No início de 2022, depois de um ano marcado pelo lançamento e colocação em órbita de 31 foguetes da SpaceX, pela marca de um milhão de carros vendidos pela Tesla e de se tornar o homem mais rico do mundo, Musk falou com pesar sobre a sua compulsão para criar dramas. «Preciso de mudar de mentalidade, sair do modo de crise, que é como tenho funcionado nos últimos catorze anos, pelo menos, se não a maior parte da minha vida», disse. Foi um comentário melancólico, não uma resolução de Ano Novo. Ao mesmo tempo que se comprometia a mudar, comprava, em segredo, ações do Twitter, o maior recreio do mundo. Ao longo dos anos, sempre que se encontrava num lugar mais sombrio, voltava a ser aquela criança agredida no recreio. Agora, tinha a oportunidade de ser o dono do recreio. Críticas a Steve Jobs, de Walter Isaacson «Fascinante.» The New York Times «Hipnotizante» LA Times «Vibrante.» Kirkus Reviews «Um retrato vasto e complexo - mas incrivelmente consistente - do homem que criou a Apple.» The Verge «Uma narrativa franca e cativante» Publishers Weekly

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.

‘An excitable, high-octane account’ – Independent In October 2022, Elon Musk marched through Twitter’s front doors after buying the digital giant for $44 billion. His takeover came with the promise of fundamental change, but nothing could prepare the company for the chaos to come – brutal mass firings, an exodus of advertisers and ‘blue-tick’ celebrities and a vicious battle for control. With unique access to Twitter insiders and Musk’s confidants, this is the astonishing story from all sides. Why did Elon overhaul Twitter’s blue-tick system, and how did it lead to the near-collapse of the company’s revenue? Will Twitter – now X – survive? How has the constant negative press coverage affected Elon? With a wealth of hidden details, Breaking Twitter gives ringside seats to one of the most dramatic and compelling business stories of our time. ‘Mezrich’s books are the sort of engrossing reads you pick up in the airport then find the blockbuster film on the plane’ – Evening Standard

For the first time, the most insightful, thought-provoking, and revealing quotes from this entrepreneurial engineer have been compiled into a single book.

What emerges is a “word portrait” of the man whose companies’ swift rise to the top will undoubtedly keep their status-quo competitors scrambling to keep up.

A WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER • The riveting inside story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car—from award-winning Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins. “A deeply reported and business-savvy chronicle of Tesla's wild ride.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review Tesla is the envy of the automotive world. Born at the start of the millennium, it was the first car company to be valued at $1 trillion. Its CEO, the mercurial, charismatic Elon Musk has become not just a celebrity but the richest man in the world. But Tesla’s success was far from guaranteed. Founded in the 2000s, the company was built on an audacious vision. Musk and a small band of Silicon Valley engineers set out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, and cleaner than any gas-guzzler on the road. Tesla would undergo a hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals—pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers. Musk often found himself in the public’s crosshairs, threatening to bring down the company he had helped build. Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, breakdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of impossible wagers and unlikely triumphs, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of innovators beat the odds—and changed the future.

*A Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller* 'A deeply reported and business-savvy chronicle of Tesla's wild ride' --Walter Isaacson 'A masterclass in narrative journalism' --Bradley Hope 'Exemplary' --The Times 'An exceptional work' --Washington Post Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car and the race to drive the future. Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary and to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car. When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition. Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three? Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future.

Even with no prior experience in the complex, ultra-high-barrier-of-entry automotive and space industries, Musk has excelled. Tesla, the first successful American car startup in more than 90 years, received more than 325,000 reservations for its economical Model 3 in a single week—advancing the company’s cause to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport: via affordable, reliable electric vehicles. SpaceX, the first private company to launch, orbit, and recover a rocket and dock at the International Space Station, has drastically reduced the cost of launching and manufacturing reusable spacecraft, which the company sees as the first step toward its "ultimate goal" of making life multiplanetary. In the words of Richard Branson, "Whatever skeptics have said can’t be done, Elon has gone out and made real." Newly updated and repackaged from its original publication in 2017 as Rocket Man: Elon Musk In His Own Words, this book curates Musk quotes from interviews, public appearances, online postings, company blogs, press releases, and more. What emerges is a 'word portrait' of the man whose companies' swift rise to the top will undoubtedly keep their status-quo competitors scrambling to keep up.
