Book excerpt: This is the biography of Elon Musk that everyone has been waiting for... He is a man who needs no introduction. He's the billionaire tech mogul who founded SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink. He's also the guy who tweeted that he was going to take Tesla private and then didn't. And he's the guy who smoked weed on a Joe Rogan podcast. But before he was all that, Elon Musk was just a kid from South Africa with a big dream. He wanted to make the world a better place, and he figured the best way to do that was to start a bunch of companies that would revolutionize the way we live, work, and travel. So, without further ado, I present to you the funny version of Elon Musk's biography: Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1971. He was a bright kid, but he was also a bit of a nerd. He loved computers and science fiction, and he dreamed of one day going to Mars. When Elon was 12 years old, he sold his first computer program for $500. He used the money to buy a new computer, and he was off to the races. After high school, Elon moved to Canada to attend Queen's University. He later transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received bachelor's degrees in physics and economics. After college, Elon moved to Silicon Valley to start his first company, Zip2. Zip2 was a web software company that provided maps and business directories to online newspapers. Zip2 was acquired by Compaq Computers in 1999 for $307 million. After selling Zip2, Elon started X.com, an online financial services company. X.com merged with Confinity in 2000 to form PayPal, which specialized in transferring money online. PayPal was acquired by eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. In 2002, Elon founded SpaceX, an aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company. SpaceX has developed launch vehicles and spacecraft that are designed to reduce the cost of space travel and enable the colonization of Mars. In 2008, Elon became the CEO of Tesla Motors, an electric car company that he had invested in in 2004. Tesla has become the world's leading electric car company, and its products are known for their long range, performance, and advanced technology. Elon Musk is a visionary entrepreneur who is passionate about using technology to solve some of the world's biggest problems. He is also a bit of a goofball. Here are a few funny Elon Musk quotes: "I think the best way to predict the future is to create it." "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late." "I'm not a genius. I'm just a guy who works really hard." "I'm not afraid of failure. I've failed so many times, I've lost all fear of it." "I'm not a politician. I'm an engineer." Elon Musk is a complex and fascinating figure. He's a brilliant entrepreneur, a visionary leader, and a bit of a goofball. He's also one of the most influential people in the world today. So, next time you're thinking about Elon Musk, just remember that he's just a guy who's trying to make the world a better place, one tweet at a time.

Download or read book Elon Musk written by Bailey Goodwin and published by . This book was released on 2022-12-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are a fan of Elon or not, there is no denying that his ambitions and accomplishments are impressive. He has managed to build, develop, and trade incredibly successful businesses. He has built an empire and amassed billions of dollars in fortune. He has continued to push the envelope of scientific, engineering, and technological development... and this is still not the end of it! However, it seems that, although Musk keeps on trying to improve the world and make it a better place to live in, people keep remembering his controversies and doubting his intentions. While it is easy to focus on the lawsuits, polemic tweets, and internet battles with other celebrities, it is crucial to remember that Elon is a man who, like everyone else, is prone to failure, despite good intentions. As someone who has apologized, admitted failure, and learned from mistakes, Elon has proven himself a model for visionaries and dreamers. Furthermore, Elon's passion for truth has driven him to pursue equality in the internet space, even if (sometimes) he might go a little overboard. How Elon will be remembered in the future is still unknown. Time will tell how much his philanthropic efforts and technological innovations will impact history overall. Still, even with his current achievements, Elon will have made his mark on history.

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.

Book excerpt: Epic feats. Epic failures. An epic story. 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.[Bokinfo].

From PayPal, Tesla, to SpaceX, the driving force that built these icons of the imagination was the desire to make the world a better place for everyone - it was never about the money.

Download or read book Character Limit written by Kate Conger and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The definitive account of how the world’s richest man, in a fit of unbridled vanity and arrogance, took over and destroyed our digital town square.” —John Carreyrou, author of Bad Blood​ "Astonishing. Kate Conger and Ryan Mac’s meticulous, comprehensive reporting turns an opaque mess brutally transparent." —Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror Rising star New York Times technology reporters, Kate Conger and Ryan Mac, tell for the first time the full and shocking inside story of Elon Musk’s unprecedented takeover of Twitter and the forty-four-billion-dollar deal’s seismic political, social, and financial fallout The billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become inextricable from the social media platform that until 2023 was known as Twitter. Started in the mid-2000s as a playful microblogging platform, Twitter quickly became a vital nexus of global politics, culture, and media—where the retweet button could instantly catapult any idea to hundreds of millions of screens around the world, unleashing raw collective emotion like nothing else before. While its founder had idealistically dreamed of building a "digital town square," he detested Wall Street and never focused on building a profitable business. Musk joined the platform in 2010 and, by 2022, had become one of the site’s most influential users, hooking over 80 million followers with a mix of provocations, promotion of his companies, and attacks on his enemies. To Musk, Twitter — once known for its almost absolute commitment to free speech — had badly lost its way. He blamed it for the proliferation of what he called the “woke mind virus” and claimed that the survival of democracy and the human race itself depended on the future of the site. In January of 2022, Musk began secretly accumulating Twitter stock. By April, he was its largest shareholder, and soon after, made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company for the unimaginable sum of $44 billion dollars. Backed into a corner, Twitter’s board accepted his offer—but Musk quickly changed his mind, forcing Twitter to sue him to close the deal in October. The richest man on earth controlled one of the most powerful media platforms in the world—but at what price? Before long Twitter would be gone for good, replaced by something radically different, as Musk remade the company in his own image from the ground up. The story of the showdown between Musk and Twitter and his eventual takeover of the company is unlike anything in business or media that has come before. In vivid, cinematic detail, Conger and Mac follow the inner workings of the company as Musk lays siege to it, first from the outside as one of its most vocal users, and then finally from within as a contentious and mercurial leader. Musk has shared some of his version of events, but Conger and Mac have uncovered the full story through exclusive interviews, unreported documents, and internal recordings at Twitter following the billionaire’s takeover. With unparalleled sources from within and around the company, they provide a revelatory, three-dimensional, and definitive account of what really happened when Musk showed up, spoiling for a brawl and intent on revolution, with his merciless, sycophantic cadre of lawyers, investors, and bankers. This is the defining story of our time told with uncommon style and peerless rigor. In a world of viral ideas and emotion, who gets to control the narrative, who gets to be heard, and what does power really cost?
