Totally worth to get insight into the Elon. Kinda changes the superhero/good guy image everyone has but you end up with more respect for him whatsoever.
Hard-work, perseverance and creativity to the max. A must read for every entrepreneur.
The subject is extremely interesting, challenging and thought provoking but I felt like Ashlee Vance (Author) was somewhat inspired by Walter Isaacsons Steve Jobs in terms of his portrayal of Musk as the genius who is somewhat a jerk.
Hate or love him, he's a major factor in moving human civilization forward in what I think are good ways.
