Get inside the head of one of the most compelling entrepreneurs of our
time with this collection of quotes from global business icon Elon Musk,
the founder and CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX.
Elon Musk, the South African-born entrepreneur who made his first
fortune with Internet companies such as PayPal, has risen to global
prominence as the visionary CEO of both Tesla Motors and SpaceX, two
companies with self-proclaimed missions to improve life as we know it
and better secure the future of humanity.
Now, the most insightful, thought-provoking, and revealing quotes from
this entrepreneurial engineer have been compiled into a single book.
Elon Musk: In His Own Words is a comprehensive guide to the inner
workings of the man dubbed the real Tony Stark. Hundreds of his best
quotes, comprising thoughts on business, clean energy, innovation,
engineering, technology, space, electric vehicles, entrepreneurship,
life lessons, and more, provide an intimate and direct look into Silicon
Valley's most ambitious industrialist.
Even with no prior experience in the complex,
ultra-high-barrier-of-entry automotive and space industries, Musk has
excelled. Tesla, the first successful American car startup in more than
90 years, received more than 325,000 reservations for its economical
Model 3 in a single week--advancing the company's cause to accelerate
the advent of sustainable transport: via affordable, reliable electric
vehicles. SpaceX, the first private company to launch, orbit, and
recover a rocket and dock at the International Space Station, has
drastically reduced the cost of launching and manufacturing reusable
spacecraft, which the company sees as the first step toward its ultimate
goal of making life multiplanetary. In the words of Richard Branson,
Whatever skeptics have said can't be done, Elon has gone out and made
real.
Newly updated and repackaged from its original publication in 2017 as
Rocket Man: Elon Musk In His Own Words, this book curates Musk quotes
from interviews, public appearances, online postings, company blogs,
press releases, and more. What emerges is a 'word portrait' of the man
whose companies' swift rise to the top will undoubtedly keep their
status-quo competitors scrambling to keep up.
