desertcart.com: Elon Musk (Audible Audio Edition): Walter Isaacson, Walter Isaacson - introduction, Jeremy Bobb, Simon & Schuster Audio: Audible Books & Originals

Review: A Complex Man - The author is well-respected for his ability to dig deeply, and spent two years shadowing Musk in order to write this book. Whether you like or dislike Musk, he is an intriguing figure, but for me, I wanted to better understand this man and his motives. I read this book before he took a role in Trump’s administration. Musk is on the autism spectrum—which often explains his rants of frustration, his moments of brilliance, and his many times of defeat. When I read this book, he was running six businesses—he often spent time flying from business to business. His drive was predicated on two beliefs: we needed to eventually be able to move to Mars as our planet collapses, and he felt humans were not repopulating enough to sustain human life. This is what created his space business. Once he was successful in sending flights to the space station to resupply the astronauts there, he developed a lucrative contract with the U.S. to be the primary resupplier. He also designed his own factory for designing and building space rockets. He tested many types of materials, and found that stainless steel seemed to handle the variances of temperatures. In any of his factories, he put the designers desks on the same floor as product being produced—-his thinking was that if a problem arose with manufacturing, the designers could experience the problem first hand, and make the needed adjustments. Musk often worked well late into the night and early mornings—when he was tired, he slept on the floor under his desk. His belief in repopulation meant that he aligned himself with many willing women, and at my last count, had 14 children. He is an intriguing, very complex person whose beliefs drive his actions. I keep wondering why, with all his resources, he does not assist with keeping this planet, Earth, in better health, and advocate for it instead of putting so much effort in trying to colonize Mars. If you want to better understand this man, I found the author did a wonderful job in researching Musk, shadowing him, and spending time with other people who play important roles in his life. Assimilating all this data had to be challenging for this writer, but I think he painted a picture for the reader that helps unravel some of Musk’s complexity.
Review: The General George Patton of Tech! - Here the author is writing in the first person after a two-year stint with Elon Musk which provides a very interesting view into the richest man's life from birth to the present day. Isaacson performs a similar feat to the bibliography he previously printed for Steve Jobs (in fact Musk is occasionally compared to Jobs). The product is designed to my liking with short chapters in a chronological order allowing the reader to transverse swiftly through the manuscript. Even though the book is an easy read, it is difficult in one sitting. With this structure Isaacson rivets the reader to the story by moving back and forth thru the many business ventures and personal issues in the Musk life. Here he has interviewed most of the individuals that have touched on Elon Musk's life with many in direct quotes. The piece is a long "beach read" for it spans the initiation and development of: Tesla, Space X, The Boring Company, Neurolink, and recently Twitter all in the pursuit of a Mars landing and colonization. Throughout the book the reader will be treated to inside matters of Musk's decisions regarding the above companies and his personal life. What is very noteworthy is in Chapters 80-83 how Musk takes over Twitter and later how he culls the employee force by 75% with the company still functioning. This may be a preview of how DOGE will be recommending the modification of the US civil service workforce. As with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic America has not seen anyone the likes of Elon Musk since "Mr. Fix-It," Herbert Hoover, also an engineer by training. Fortunately, Musk is not able to be president of the USA. This book portrays a forward looking visionary similar to the Portuguese "Henry the Navigator" with the persistence and determination of General George Patton. This vison coupled with determination will lead mankind off our planet where your grandchildren will be mining asteroids in the future. The product is well structured with a table of contents bearing ninety-five chapters with references and notes. It has a very helpful index, and black and white photos accompany each chapter. The timeline ends in April 2023 after the SpaceX Starship launch. Purchase this if you desire to view the American Dream!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good read with some bias.
*by C***O on July 6, 2024*

first, i'm an elon fan. not blindly, i realize the guy has faults, but holistically i think the guy is a great asset to humanity. ** my real gripes at end of this review. ** the average sentiment for elon in my social circle is negative. one time i had an acquaintance ask me three times in a row if i was being serious about liking elon. i must have been joking. i was not. there were also these things people would repeat about elon that i suspected were false. for example, he came from money, his father was a rich emerald mine owner (which conjures up ideas about south African blood diamonds) or that his success is from taking credit rather than merit or that his views have become extreme right/conspiratorial. i wanted to dig in and separate the truth from the noise so i looked at several elon books and decided on this one. it's a good read imo. a page turner. overall i'd say it's a study of character rather than a cut and dry accounting of what elon has done. no regrets reading it. i might read it again some day as it's packed with rockets, people, kids, wives, and electric cars. i like the way it's organized into bite sized chunks that focus on one story rather than try and tell the multitude of stories that are happening simultaneously. sometimes the author will repeat a bit already covered which is useful for the reader to get full context of what's going on. for a hypothetical example, there might be a section that focuses on a rocket launch. then later a section that focuses on a falling out with his father that was simultaneous. my biggest complaint and the reason for 4 stars is i feel the author might be a little out of touch, making judgement calls when he should just be making observations. I also think the author is too trusting of corporate media outlets and does not entertain the possibility that elon is actually right on certain topics. instead he makes a character judgement. here are some examples: "musk was cursed with a conspiratorial mindset" this is in reference to musk thinking his negative press was coming from hidden agendas. i find it hard to believe the negative sentiment for elon is just from offensive tweets and interviews. i've never seen a billionaire who has done so much (electric cars alone) and at the same time is so disliked. not gates, not bezos, no one i can think of. but what elon has done is challenge power. he questioned PCR tests, he fought lock downs at teslsa, he was honest about vaccine injuries in his circle of friends and his own bad experience. this is a sure fire way to get your reputation attacked. we are simply not allowed to have honest conversations about anything vaccine or lock down related. but elon did. his brutal honesty in a world where our leaders and institutions routinely lie, is imo, what people like about him. the author also believes the tweet "my pronouns are prosecute/fauci" "made little sense, wasn't funny, and managed, in just 5 words, to mock transgender people, conjure up conspiracies about the 81 year old...." i disagree. the fact that the author dismisses this as conspiracy theory tells me he is out of touch. funding from NIAID (Fauci's organization) did go to the Wuhan Lab, they did do gain of function research, and had in the past done gain of function research on bat corona viruses. Fauci has lies about this while testifying to Rand Paul. meanwhile the lab leak has gone from a conspiracy theory to a credible explanation. even former FDA head Robert Redfield has said he believes it came from a lab. History is going to confirm that elon was ahead on this rather than conspiratorial. also it was hilarious. in 5 words elon exposed the corruption of Fauci while pointing out the insane amount of personal pronounces currently recognized. lgbtqnation.com lists 17 on it's "incomplete" list. "he (elon) retweeted comments by robert kennedy jr, a fervent antivaxxer who alleged that the CIA killed his uncle the president..." . as a person who is very familiar with Kennedy's positions i'll say that the antivax pejorative is one of the biggest lies against RFK jr. it's very misleading. and the author is just repeating what corporate media has been saying for 20 years. RFK's position is that the safety testing is not adequate for vaccines. He is fully vaxxed (except covid) and so are his kids. the antivax pejorative is used to stop him from asking questions about vaccine safety. As for the CIA assassinating JFK it is a very old idea and RFK is not the only one who believes it. RFK jr's case for it is compelling. "he (elon) was skittering at times on the edges of the rabbit holes of conspiracy theories about sinister global elite forces." this author seems to be unaware of things like the WEF pandemic treaty, or the gates funded pandemic simulations that were in part focused on censorship to quell "disinformation". i could go on but won't. i think history will show elon was dialed in to better information sources rather than conspiratorial. instead of characterizing him as conspiratorial it would have better to be nuetral. what i see as a net positive (the ability of elon to think independent of corporate media narratives) the author sees as a bit cray cray. on a positive note, i came away with (i think) a far better understanding of who elon is emotionally and his management style. i did not expect him to be super chill to work with. that's an understatement. he seems every bit as harsh as the steve jobs stories i heard from my friend at apple. one of the central questions in the book seems to be can you accomplish the near impossible and be easy to work with? is accomplishment and a-hole-ishness a package deal? maybe. overall i'd recommend.
