Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

The New York Times Bestseller and Gift Idea for Entrepreneurs and Elon Musk Fans In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, this authorized Elon Musk biography is both an illuminating look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs--a real-life Tony Stark--and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new "makers." Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his first startup companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. 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--one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history--is a contemporary, visionary 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. Thorough and insightful, Elon Musk brings to life a technology industry that is rapidly and dramatically changing by examining the life of one of its most powerful and influential titans. This essential business biography reveals the full story behind the headlines: Technology and Innovation: Go inside the dramatic technical breakthroughs and entrepreneurial pursuits that define SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, from dramatic innovations to near-crippling setbacks. From South Africa to Silicon Valley: Trace Musk's journey from a tumultuous upbringing in South Africa to becoming one of the most powerful and unpredictable titans of American business history. Visionary Leadership: Discover why Ashlee Vance compares Musk to a contemporary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. The Future of American Invention: Explore one of the most pressing questions of our age: can the nation of inventors who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition.…
