informative medium-paced

I feel like Isaacson does a good job not being too sycophantic the story itself eventually just gets boring and repetitive because the subject is the same childish clown at all points in time. Informative though. I can now correctly hate from a more informed place.

Very interesting biography with a fantastic audiobook narrator. Anyone interested in entrepreneurship or Musk should check this out. Lots of useful information on how to run a business effectively, not necessarily Musk's more controversial methods but some that all businesses should have, like knowing exactly who comes up with a rule or regulation, not just "X department".
informative medium-paced

This was a really interesting canter through Elon Musks life story. It seemed pretty well balanced. Clear on his many many achievements and also unafraid to show his negative side. It finishes in early 2023 so before his joining of the President Trump team. I felt it showed Musk as a truly exceptional engineer and entrepreneur but also someone whose ruthlessness and often capricious nature would make him an enormously difficult boss, friend and relative.
