Айзексон Уолтер Elon Musk

Walter Isaacson charts Elon Musk’s journey from humble beginnings to one of the wealthiest people on the planet – but is Musk a genius or a jerk? From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of Elon Musk, 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 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.

Berger Eric Liftoff. Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days That Launched SpaceX

'Just read it.' Elon Musk The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX-and Elon Musk-from a shaky startup into the world's leading edge rocket company. SpaceX has enjoyed a miraculous decade. Less than 20 years after its founding, it boasts the largest constellation of commercial satellites in orbit, has pioneered reusable rockets, and in 2020 became the first private company to launch human beings into orbit. Half a century after the space race SpaceX is pushing forward into the cosmos, laying the foundation for our exploration of other worlds. But before it became one of the most powerful players in the aerospace industry, SpaceX was a fledgling startup, scrambling to develop a single workable rocket before the money ran dry. The engineering challenge was immense; numerous other private companies had failed similar attempts. And even if SpaceX succeeded, they would then have to compete for government contracts with titans such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing, who had tens of thousands of employees and tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue. SpaceX had fewer than 200 employees and the relative pittance of $100 million in the bank. In Liftoff, Eric Berger takes readers inside the wild early days that made SpaceX. Focusing on the company's first four launches of the Falcon 1 rocket, he charts the bumpy journey from scrappy underdog to aerospace pioneer. drawing upon exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk. The enigmatic Musk, who founded the company with the dream of one day settling Mars, is the fuel that propels the book, with his daring vision for the future of space.

Walter Isaacson. Elon Musk

Бестселлер №1 по версии New York TimesЭто удивительно интимная история самого увлекательного и противоречивого новатора нашей эпохи от автора биографий Стива Джобса и других бестселлеров — нарушающего правила провидца, который помог привести мир к эре электромобилей, частного освоения космоса, и искусственный интеллект. О, и захватил Твиттер.Когда Илон Маск был ребенком в Южной Африке, его регулярно избивали хулиганы. Однажды группа людей столкнула его с бетонных ступенек и избивала ногами до тех пор, пока его лицо не превратилось в опухший комок плоти. Он пролежал в больнице неделю. Но физические шрамы были незначительными по сравнению с эмоциональными шрамами, нанесенными его отцом, инженером, мошенником и харизматичным фантазером.Влияние отца на его психику сохранится. Он превратился в жесткого, но уязвимого ребенка мужского пола, склонного к резким перепадам настроения в стиле Джекила и Хайда, с чрезвычайно высокой терпимостью к риску, жаждой драмы, эпическим чувством миссии и маниакальной интенсивностью, которая была бессердечной и бессердечной. времена разрушительны.В начале 2022 года — после года, отмеченного запуском SpaceX на орбиту тридцати одной ракеты, продажей Tesla миллиона автомобилей и тем, что он стал самым богатым человеком на Земле, — Маск с сожалением говорил о своей склонности разжигать драмы. «Мне нужно переключить свое мышление и уйти от кризисного режима, который продолжается уже около четырнадцати лет или, возможно, большую часть моей жизни», — сказал он.Это был задумчивый комментарий, а не новогоднее обещание. Даже когда он это говорил, он тайно скупал акции Twitter, главной игровой площадки в мире. С годами, всякий раз, когда он оказывался в темном месте, его мысли возвращались к издевательствам на детской площадке. Теперь у него появился шанс стать владельцем детской площадки.В течение двух лет Айзексон следил за Маском, посещал его встречи, гулял с ним по фабрикам и часами брал интервью у него, его семьи, друзей, коллег и противников. Результатом стала откровенная внутренняя история, наполненная удивительными рассказами о триумфах и потрясениях, которая отвечает на вопрос: являются ли демоны, которые движут Маском, тем, что нужно для инноваций и прогресса?#1 New York Times bestsellerFrom 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.
