Power Play : Elon Musk, Tesla, and the Bet of the Century
Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car and the race to drive the future.
Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary and to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car.
When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition.
Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three?
Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future.
Elon Musk és a fantasztikus jövő feltalálása (ifjúsági változat)
Napjainkban kevés az olyan inspiráló személyiség, aki hajthatatlansága és eredeti látásmódja révén számos technológiát forradalmasítva, több területen is maradandót alkot. Elon Musk ilyen példakép: valóságos látnokként vitte sikerre eddigi vállalkozásait, többek között az elektromos autókat fejlesztő Tesla Motorst és a kereskedelmi űrutazást megújító Space X-t.
Különösen nehéz életutat járt be, mire a Szilícium-völgy egyik legismertebb vállalkozója lett. Gyermekkorát Dél-Afrikában töltötte, ahol zsenialitása miatt kilógott a sorból. Később innovatív üzletemberként nem mindennapi kockázatokat vállalt, így sokszor szinte az alapoktól kellett újra építenie birodalmát.
Buktatókkal és sikerekkel teli története önmagában is lenyűgöző, Elon Muskot azonban leginkább az teszi szuperhőssé, hogy modern technológiai megoldásaival, környezettudatos módon keres válaszokat korunk kihívásaira: a jövő izgalmas, optimista képét festi elénk.

Elon Musk: Risking It All
In 2022 Elon Musk - one of the richest and best-known people on earth - made headlines worldwide with his bid to buy Twitter, and he is often in the news for his entrepreneurial exploits and his controversial tweets. Who is this boundary-pushing billionaire with grand plans of inhabiting Mars, and what lies at the heart of his vision? Why is he so utterly unafraid of risk?
As an awkward Pretoria schoolboy who loved comics and science fiction, Musk's early years and singular family background were crucial in forming his stellar ambitions. Journalist and author Michael Vlismas, who attended the same high school as Musk, knows well the environment that shaped him and offers new insights into Musk's development, including his troubled relationship with his father.
Tracing his remarkable life, from his South African childhood to his move to Canada at 17 and then to the US - where Musk made millions out of PayPal and built Tesla and SpaceX into two of the world's most famous companies - this is the revealing new story of a man driven to preserve the optimism he sees in humanity and find a future for humans 'out there among the stars'.

Svet podľa Elona Muska
Táto kniha prináša pohľad na aktivity jedného z najbohatších ľudí sveta z vedeckej perspektívy, ktorá umožňuje realisticky porovnať jeho plány a marketingové bubliny s tým, čo je naozaj technicky zrealizovateľné.
Fenomén Musk sa rozhodne nedá prehliadnuť. Elon Musk totiž sníva vo veľkom, sľubuje ľudstvu, že čoskoro opustí kolísku Zeme a osídli Mars, no a popritom si len tak pre radosť kúpi svoju obľúbenú sociálnu sieť Twitter.
V priebehu niekoľkých rokov sa presadil vo všetkých významných oblastiach súčasnej vedy. So spoločnosťou SpaceX spôsobil revolúciu vo vesmírnom priemysle, ambíciou jeho Tesly sú automobily bez vodičov. Umelú inteligenciu považuje za hrozbu budúcnosti pre ľudstvo, a tak sa jeho neurovedci v Neuralinku pustil aj do prepájania počítačov s našimi mozgami. Okrem toho treba pripomenúť, že má aj nemalý vplyv na vývoj virtuálnych mien.
Dá sa však v tomto veľkom inovačnom prevrate nájsť aj nejaké organizované vedecké myslenie? Aké sú hlavné technické, biologické a počítačové princípy, ktoré Elon Musk posúva na hranicu ich možností? Ktoré problémy ignoruje, pretože predstavujú prekážku jeho futuristickým víziám?

Elon Musk
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.
Liftoff: Elon Musk And The Desperate Early Days That Launched Spacex
The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX-and Elon Musk-from a shaky startup into the world's leading edge rocket company.
SpaceX has enjoyed a miraculous decade. Less than 20 years after its founding, it boasts the largest constellation of commercial satellites in orbit, has pioneered reusable rockets, and in 2020 became the first private company to launch human beings into orbit. Half a century after the space race SpaceX is pushing forward into the cosmos, laying the foundation for our exploration of other worlds.
But before it became one of the most powerful players in the aerospace industry, SpaceX was a fledgling startup, scrambling to develop a single workable rocket before the money ran dry. The engineering challenge was immense; numerous other private companies had failed similar attempts. And even if SpaceX succeeded, they would then have to compete for government contracts with titans such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing, who had tens of thousands of employees and tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue. SpaceX had fewer than 200 employees and the relative pittance of $100 million in the bank.
In Liftoff, Eric Berger takes readers inside the wild early days that made SpaceX. Focusing on the company's first four launches of the Falcon 1 rocket, he charts the bumpy journey from scrappy underdog to aerospace pioneer. drawing upon exclusive interviews with dozens of former and current engineers, designers, mechanics, and executives, including Elon Musk. The enigmatic Musk, who founded the company with the dream of one day settling Mars, is the fuel that propels the book, with his daring vision for the future of space.
Elon Musk
Ashlee Vance technológiai újságíró sodró lendületű, tényfeltáró könyvében betekintés nyújt a Szilícium-völgy legmerészebb üzletemberének - és legnagyobb visszatérőjének - kiemelkedő életébe. A szerző több mint ötven órát beszélgetett Muskkal, továbbá közel háromszáz emberrel - a családtagjaival, a barátaival, a munkatársaival - készített interjút.
Musk nem követi a trendeket, hanem alakítja: dinamizmusa és jövőképe elképesztő motivációkat eredményez az elektromos autók gyártása, a kereskedelmi úrhajózás és a napelemes rendszerek használatának területén. A könyv végigköveti Elon Musk útját nehéz dél-afrikai gyermekkorától kezdve a globális üzleti világ csúcsára való felemelkedéséig, és bepillantást nyújt az előttünk álló, hihetetlennek ígérkező évszázadba.

The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos
The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program. Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, these Space Barons-most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, along with Richard Branson and Paul Allen-are using Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, and send humans even further than NASA has gone. These entrepreneurs have founded some of the biggest brands in the world-Amazon, Microsoft, Virgin, Tesla, PayPal-and upended industry after industry. Now they are pursuing the biggest disruption of all: space.
Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, this authoritative account is a dramatic tale of risk and high adventure, the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by some of the world's richest men as they struggle to end governments' monopoly on the cosmos. The Space Barons is also a story of rivalry-hard-charging startups warring with established contractors, and the personal clashes of the leaders of this new space movement, particularly Musk and Bezos, as they aim for the moon and Mars and beyond.

Když má žena plán
V životě přijdou okamžiky, které nemůžete ovlivnit, ale svůj vysněný život můžete žít v jakémkoliv věku. Musíte si pouze umět věci dobře naplánovat.
Maye Musk je okouzlující supermodelka, kterou nejčastěji potkáte na palubě letadla nebo v pevně semknutém a velmi neotřelém kruhu rodiny a přátel. Ne vždy byl její život tak jednoduchý, ne vždy patřila mezi smetánku. V jednatřiceti zůstala na výchovu svých tří dětí sama a ve snaze je zaopatřit se často pohybovala na hranici chudoby. A kdo jsou její tři děti? Elon Musk, podnikatel, inženýr a filantrop, Tosca Musk, producentka, režisérka a spoluzakladatelka streamingové platformy Passionflix, a Kimbal Musk, podnikatel a restauratér se zájmem o inovativní pěstitelství a vzdělávání dětí v přírodním prostředí. Maye se potýkala s problémy s nadváhou, působila jako plus size modelka a musela se vyrovnat s věkovou diskriminací v módním průmyslu. Dokázala si vybudovat kariéru respektované dietoložky, a to i přesto, že se často stěhovala z města do města napříč několika zeměmi a dvěma kontinenty a osmkrát v životě musela začínat znova od nuly. Nikdy se nenechala ničím odradit, překonala všechny překážky a díky svému racionálnímu přístupu k životu se nakonec ve svých „nejlepších letech“, jak svůj věk sama označuje, vyhoupla mezi světoznámé celebrity.

Ako tridsaťjedenročná sa rozviedla a stala sa matkou samoživiteľkou, ktorá sa musela tvrdo prebíjať životom, aby prežila, vyhla sa chudobe a zaopatrila svoje tri deti. Ako plus size modelka tiež čelila problémom s hmotnosťou a podarilo sa jej prekonať tabuizovanú tému starnutia v módnom priemysle. Je rešpektovanou odborníčkou na výživu. V tejto oblasti pracuje viac ako štyridsaťpäť rokov, pričom s praxou začínala od nuly v ôsmich mestách, troch krajinách a na dvoch kontinentoch. Vďaka svojmu nezlomnému duchu a racionálnemu prístupu však prekonala všetky prekážky a vo veku, ktorý sama označuje ako „najlepšie roky svojho života“, sa stala celosvetovou ikonou.
V knihe Jedna žena, jeden plán sa Maye delí o praktické skúsenosti a ťaž- ko získané poznatky súvisiace s kariérou, rodinou, zdravím a dobrodružstvom. Nemôžete ovládať všetko, čo sa vo vašom živote udeje, ale v každom veku môžete žiť šťastnejší, zdravší a radostnejší život. Stačí si urobiť plán. „Úprimná a pravdivá – Jedna žena, jeden plán je kniha plná pochopenia, oplývajúca poriadnou dávkou humoru, ktorá čitateľkám ponúka rady založené na ťažko získaných životných skúsenostiach.“ Diane von Furstenberg
