Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius's life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits. Vance uses Musk's story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk is an amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy. 000732429 60010 $$aMusk, Elon. 000732429 61020 $$aTesla Motors. 000732429 61020 $$aSpaceX (Firm) 000732429 61020 $$aPayPal (Firm) 000732429 650_0 $$aBusinesspeople$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000732429 650_0 $$aBusinesspeople$$zSouth Africa$$vBiography. 000732429 650_0 $$aInventors$$vBiography. 000732429 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$xEconomic aspects. 000732429 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 000732429 85200 $$bgen$$hHC102.5.M88$$iV36$$i2015 000732429 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:732429$$pGLOBAL_SET 000732429 980__ $$aBIB 000732429 980__ $$aBOOK
