Overview
Ā
Ah, y el mismo que comprĆ³ Twitter.
Ā
Cuando Elon Musk era un niƱo en SudĆ”frica, sufrĆa a menudo acoso escolar. Un dĆa un grupo de niƱos lo empujĆ³ por unas escaleras de hormigĆ³n y le patearon hasta que su cara se hinchĆ³ como una pelota. PasĆ³ una semana en el hospital. Pero las cicatrices fĆsicas fueron insignificantes comparadas con las emocionales, las que le habĆa causado su padre, un canalla, ingeniero carismĆ”tico y fantasioso. Cuando Elon llegĆ³ a casa tras ser dado de alta del hospital, su padre le reprendiĆ³. Ā«Tuve que escucharlo durante una hora mientras me gritaba, me llamaba idiota y me decĆa que era un inĆŗtilĀ», recuerda.
Ā
El impacto psicolĆ³gico que su padre le causĆ³ perdurĆ³. Se convirtiĆ³ en un joven fuerte pero vulnerable al mismo tiempo, propenso a bruscos cambios de humor -a lo Jekyll y Hyde-, con una gran tolerancia al riesgo, ansias de drama, un Ć©pico sentido de misiĆ³n y una intensidad manĆaca, cruel y a veces destructiva.
Ā
A principios de 2022, despuĆ©s de un aƱo marcado por el lanzamiento de treinta y un satĆ©lites de SpaceX, la venta de un millĆ³n de coches de Tesla y de convertirse en el hombre mĆ”s rico de la tierra, Musk confesĆ³ con arrepentimiento su impulso por provocar el drama. Ā«Necesito cambiar mi forma de pensar para que deje de estar en modo crisis, como lo he estado en los Ćŗltimos catorce aƱos, o probablemente toda mi vidaĀ», explicĆ³.
Ā
Fue un comentario melancĆ³lico, no un propĆ³sito de aƱo nuevo. Cuando hizo la promesa, estaba comprando en secreto acciones de Twitter, el patio de recreo por excelencia. Con los aƱos, cuando se encontraba en un momento difĆcil, se veĆa transportado de nuevo al acoso que sufriĆ³ en el patio del colegio. Ahora tenĆa la oportunidad de poseerlo.
Ā
Durante dos aƱos, Isaacson fue la sombra de Musk, asistiĆ³ a sus reuniones, recorriĆ³ juntos sus fĆ”bricas, y pasĆ³ horas entrevistĆ”ndolo a Ć©l, a su familia, amigos, compaƱeros y adversarios. El resultado es un relato Ćntimo y revelador, repleto de historias asombrosas, triunfos y perturbaciones, que aborda la pregunta: Āæson los demonios que mueven a Musk tambiĆ©n lo que se necesita para impulsar la innovaciĆ³n y el progreso?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our eraāa rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.
His fatherās impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.
At the beginning of 2022āafter a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earthāMusk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. āI need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,ā he said.
It was a wistful comment, not a New Yearās resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the worldās ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.
For two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?
