Real analysis is sparse in this book, and we get more and more familiair, almost template like outburst and behavior described without really understanding more who Elon Musk really is
More thoughts to follow, with Elon Musk himself as a subject and serial entrepreneur being fascinating enough, but I just feel that the book goes into much too much description compared at least attempts to help the reader understand the main subject. You understand the formula (or algorithm in Musk speak) and apparently acceleration always needs to be coupled to insane deadlines and testosterone fueled “feats” which are remarkable but not well thought through. There is a constant search for drama and definitely a troubled childhood and self proclaimed Asperger but I felt, even though reading 700 pages that Isaacson could have given more true insight.
Full review will come!
