Publisher's Summary

A riveting YA biography that shows how a once-bullied school boy became an iconic visionary who the New York Times described as "arguably the most important and successful entrepreneur in the world".

Elon Musk is the visionary behind SpaceX and CEO of the electric car company Tesla. He is working on unique and daring improvements to both public transit and solar energy. And then, there's his highly-publicized plans for colonizing Mars....

But behind the mind-blowing headlines and legendary drive is the story of a bullied and beaten school boy, who through creativity and determination decided to rewrite his story and find his own way to make the world a better place. And to do so with a sense of fun and style.

From hosting raves to pay for college to re-writing the rules on space travel, Elon Musk has always gone his own way. And now, award-winning investigative journalist, Anna Crowley Redding takes listeners on a well-researched trip through Elon's life and accomplishments.

Interesting story of a world influencer

Didn’t like the female narrator or the way the book was read but found the content very interesting & fascinating to read about a man who is having such an influence around the world in various fields. An enigmatic man who fascinates many people in different ways.

Terrible footnotes!

The narrative of the book is good but the footnotes are complete unnecessary in 90% of the times.
Explain what is adenoids or apartheid was too much.
You guys just kill the whole peace of the narrative.
Terrible idea.
