ELON

From award-winning journalist Tom Randall, a behind-the scenes look at the most captivating entrepreneur of the 21st century - Elon Musk - and the high-stakes struggles of his world-changing companies: Tesla and SpaceX.

Just as Brad Stone did for Amazon in The Everything Store, Randall will take readers inside the walls of Tesla to reveal its idiosyncratic culture where engineers are treated like gods and employees are forced to turn on a dime at Musk's whim. At the core of the book is Musk himself, a hopeless romantic who is tormented by unrequited love and dark visions of the world's doomed future. An immigrant who fled a broken home in South Africa, and a self-made billionaire who takes out bank loans to pay his bills because he refuses to sell even a single share of the companies he's built.

Tom Randall is a senior reporter at Bloomberg and has been writing about Tesla since 2012. For three consecutive years, he was the most-read of Bloomberg's journalists worldwide.
