Elon Musk - a podcast by Adam Ashton and Adam Jones

Elon Musk - by Ashlee Vance

'How the billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our future'

 

What a character. After creating Zip2 and selling it for around $20m, he pumped that all into X.com which became PayPal. After selling that to eBay, he received about $180m after tax. He pumped ALL of that into creating three new companies; SpaceX, Tesla and Solar City. After being literally hours from complete bankruptcy, each company has made Musk a billionaire. Three companies that have each cleared over a billion dollars... Amazing. 

The book is some good insights into how the companies were formed, but also give a good insight into the man that is Elon Musk. Hoping a movie/documentary version comes out soon!
