Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson –Book Review

Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson –Book Review

Today I am sharing a biography about one of the most controversial men on the planet: Elon Musk.

Elon first caught my attention a few years ago during that infamous Babylon Bee interview where he was asked about his faith and his beliefs. That interview led to my husband and I creating a fascinating Bible study for our small group where we discussed whether or not Elon Musk was a Christian, based on his responses and what the Bible tells us about salvation. And it is from that place – wanting to know more about the man behind the Babylon Bee interview – that my interest in this book was born.

Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson is written by the famed biographer who has also studied and chronicled the lives of Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Leonardo da Vinci.

In preparation for writing this 670 page book, Walter spent two years shadowing Elon Musk and it shows. The Elon Musk biography opens with stories from Elon’s tough childhood in South Africa and focuses on who Elon is a s a person. Sprinkled with photos throughout, the 95-chapter book covers everything from his many marriages to the development of Tesla and SpaceX to his acquisition of Twitter/X. The book officially covers events through April 2023 which means that none of the things that are currently impacting our lives – most notably, his role in DOGE – are addressed in this book.

Regardless of what you think about Elon Musk, Walter Isaacson has done a fine job of taking us behind the scenes and into the life of one of the most powerful and influential men on the planet.
