This book was like a Wikipedia article showered with quotes related to Elon musk. Don't waste your time on this book. It's much better to read Ashley's version of the story behind Elon.
This author made it sound as if starting a space company, PayPal, and an electric car company was ridiculously easy.

Releí este libro para ver por qué me pareció bueno la primera vez y por qué en ese entonces admiraba a Elon Musk. Habla muy bien de él, lo idelaiza y presenta coasa que yo creo que son imposibles en cualequier humano, sólo habla de lo bueno que tiene presentándolo como un genio de la tecnología y de los negocios y un filántropo que quiere que la sociedad progrese. Ahora simplemente no lo creo, aunque aprendí varias cosas de las citas y de lo que es un innovador y un engeniero como se quiere hacer ver.
Short and informative
It would be great that this book was larger but although is short is inspiring knowing about a man that is making a difference in the society, but it also prevents of the consequences of such commitment and pursuits.

Elon Musk is an extremely fascinating man, but this book about him is unfortunately quite poorly written. About half the book consists of quotes by Musk. At times this works, but at other times it's awkward and breaks up the flow of reading the book. The same quotes are also reused in different chapters.

quick read, instructive and inspiring
Elon Musk is probably one of the most remarkable technology and business leaders of our times, and this book does a great job in compiling his main personality traits, achievements and quotes. Highly recommended.

This is a short book. Worth an hour or two of your time if you like pithy Elon Musk quotes and hero worship. Otherwise skip.

If you want the quotes of elon then this book is fine. It gives you basic idea of what he is about

Bueno, pero corto. Desarrollado desde una óptica distinta, haciendo foco en citas para describir su vida. Se nota que no hubo ningún tipo de contacto con el protagonista.

It's an ok book. It just compiles some citations from Elon Musk and intertwines them with a simple biography about his business life. Nothing you can't find on wikipedia.
