他的SpaceX太空技術可與美國NASA、俄國和中國力拼

他的Hyperloop超迴路列車將比飛機還快

他的Neuralink將開啟人腦串連AI的新時代

他是賣座電影“鋼鐵俠”的原型

Google創辦人佩吉願意把財富交給他，相信他會為人類打造永續未來

跟賈伯斯一樣，馬斯克被稱為“改變世界的科技狂人”，但他的夢想更加瘋狂。他的Tesla排名超越Google、蘋果，其關鍵技術更是好到其他汽車大廠都不能沒有它；SpaceX是國際太空站運輸物資的私人航太公司，卻一再以不可思議的低成本和尖端技術，創造太空業奇蹟。

他跨領域挑起五大*端產業的革命，從商用太空、全電動車、超級高鐵、家用電池到腦機一體，每個歷程都非常棘手，每次突破都讓全球驚豔。他是怎麼做到的？

向超級創業家學專注與跨界，跳脱單一軌道，轉換思考模式，瞭解這一代工作者、創業家、企業家該追求什麼？哪一種能力、行業、產業不可或缺？你也可以成為主導自己未來的鋼鐵俠：

★關於信念：不盲目隨波逐流，從本真開始思考

★關於團隊：找到厲害的人，一起發明新東西

★關於進步：科技創新很重要，但不能侷限於資訊科技

★關於工作：設計電玩是有趣，但製造電池、新材料、火箭等實體更酷

★關於能力：善於跨領域思考的人，是未來不可或缺的人才

★關於人生：早點失敗才會快點成功，人生要多元發展才完整

★關於未來：每個人、每個企業都要突破你的小宇宙

從開始訪談到本書完成，《彭博商業週刊》資深科技記者萬斯前後費時近五年，專訪馬斯克與他的家人、朋友、旗下事業裡的主管與鮮少曝光的技術核心人物，以及馬斯克的對手和曾與他為敵、後來卻又一再投資他新事業的人（例如PayPal共同創辦人Peter Thiel），受訪人數超過300人。深入的訪談與觀察，揭露這位硅谷傳奇人物如何勝過祖克伯、貝佐斯，成為受尊崇的科技業領導人，又將如何改變你我的未來！

South African born Elon Musk is the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity. Musk wants to save our planet; he wants to send citizens into space, to form a colony on Mars; he wants to make money while doing these things; and he wants us all to know about it. He is the real-life inspiration for the Iron Man series of films starring Robert Downey Junior.

The personal tale of Musk's life comes with all the trappings one associates with a great, drama-filled story. He was a freakishly bright kid who was bullied brutally at school, and abused by his father. In the midst of these rough conditions, and the violence of apartheid South Africa, Musk still thrived academically and attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he paid his own way through school by turning his house into a club and throwing massive parties.

He started a pair of huge dot-com successes, including PayPal, which eBay acquired for $1.5 billion in 2002. Musk was forced out as CEO and so began his lost years in which he decided to go it alone and baffled friends by investing his fortune in rockets and electric cars. Meanwhile Musk's marriage disintegrated as his technological obsessions took over his life ...

Elon Musk is the Steve Jobs of the present and the future, and for the past twelve months, he has been shadowed by tech reporter, Ashlee Vance. Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of Spacex and Tesla is Shaping our Future is an important, exciting and intelligent account of the real-life Iron Man.

詳盡的報道…到目前為止，我們主要是通過漫畫來了解他的，這部作品很可能是對他的決定性描述。到書的後面，讀者都會感到，需要把與史蒂夫•喬布斯(Steve Jobs)的比較放在一邊。

Exhaustively reported . . . this work will likely serve as the definitive account of a man whom so far we've seen mostly through caricature. By the final pages, too, any reader will sense the need to put comparisons to Steve Jobs aside. Give Musk credit. There is no one like him. * New York Times * 

對於任何對技術、創業或偉大的代價感興趣的人來説，阿什莉•萬斯(Ashlee Vance)的新書都是對這位可以説是一位家喻户曉的企業家的精彩觀察。萬斯描繪了一幅令人難忘的畫面，展示了馬斯克的個性魅力、永不滿足的幹勁和在艱難困苦中茁壯成長的能力。

For anyone interested in technology, entrepreneurship or the price of greatness, Ashlee Vance's new book is a tremendous look into arguably the world's most important entrepreneur. Vance paints an unforgettable picture of Musk's unique personality, insatiable drive and ability to thrive through hardship. * The Washington Post *
