Del autor de Steve Jobs y otras grandes biograf?as, todas ellas ?xitos internacionales de ventas, esta es la historia asombrosamente ?ntima del innovador m?s fascinante y pol?mico del mundo, un visionario que ha roto todos los moldes y ha conducido al mundo a la era de los veh?culos el?ctricos, la exploraci?n espacial privada y la inteligencia artificial.
Ah, y el mismo que compr? Twitter. Cuando Elon Musk era un ni?o en Sud?frica, sufr?a a menudo acoso escolar. Un d?a un grupo de ni?os lo empuj? por unas escaleras de hormig?n y le patearon hasta que su cara se hinch? como una pelota. Pas? una semana en el hospital. Pero las cicatrices f?sicas fueron insignificantes comparadas con las emocionales, las que le hab?a causado su padre, un canalla, ingeniero carism?tico y fantasioso. Cuando Elon lleg? a casa tras ser dado de alta del hospital, su padre le reprendi?. «Tuve que escucharlo durante una hora mientras me gritaba, me llamaba idiota y me dec?a que era un in?til , recuerda. El impacto psicol?gico que su padre le caus? perdur?. Se convirti? en un joven fuerte pero vulnerable al mismo tiempo, propenso a bruscos cambios de humor -a lo Jekyll y Hyde-, con una gran tolerancia al riesgo, ansias de drama, un ?pico sentido de misi?n y una intensidad man?aca, cruel y a veces destructiva. A principios de 2022, despu?s de un a?o marcado por el lanzamiento de treinta y un sat?lites de SpaceX, la venta de un mill?n de coches de Tesla y de convertirse en el hombre m?s rico de la tierra, Musk confes? con arrepentimiento su impulso por provocar el drama. «Necesito cambiar mi forma de pensar para que deje de estar en modo crisis, como lo he estado en los ?ltimos catorce a?os, o probablemente toda mi vida , explic?. Fue un comentario melanc?lico, no un prop?sito de a?o nuevo. Cuando hizo la promesa, estaba comprando en secreto acciones de Twitter, el patio de recreo por excelencia. Con los a?os, cuando se encontraba en un momento dif?cil, se ve?a transportado de nuevo al acoso que sufri? en el patio del colegio. Ahora ten?a la oportunidad de poseerlo. Durante dos a?os, Isaacson fue la sombra de Musk, asisti? a sus reuniones, recorri? juntos sus f?bricas, y pas? horas entrevist?ndolo a ?l, a su familia, amigos, compa?eros y adversarios. El resultado es un relato ?ntimo y revelador, repleto de historias asombrosas, triunfos y perturbaciones, que aborda la pregunta: son los demonios que mueven a Musk tambi?n lo que se necesita para impulsar la innovaci?n y el progreso? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From 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. 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, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, 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. For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?Author: Walter Isaacson
