Publisher's Summary

An admiring portrait of the pioneering entrepreneur from the former CNBC host and Forbes editor.

One of the most influential figures of our time, Elon Musk is the most talked about man in America who isn’t running for president (yet!). In The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk, veteran business journalist Dennis Kneale chronicles Musk’s extraordinary journey, presenting him as a beacon of inspiration. Musk’s unparalleled success as an innovator and entrepreneur is not just a testament to his genius, but a playbook for those daring to dream big.

Synonymous with groundbreaking advancements and daring ventures, Elon Musk has not only shaped the future with companies like Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and xAI, but has also redefined what it means to be a leader today. Despite facing relentless criticism and controversy, Musk's relentless pursuit of his visions provides invaluable lessons about resilience, innovation, and the power of conviction. Filled with counterintuitive advice like “Tease your critics and torture your enemies” and “work impossible hours and make them keep up,” this illuminating biography reveals how the richest man in the world got that way.

Kneale delves into the essence of Musk’s philosophy, dissecting the principles that have guided his extraordinary journey. From embracing the possibility of the impossible to the strategic handling of critics and media, Musk's approach to life and business offers a unique blueprint for success in today's fast-paced world. His ability to dream big, bet on himself, and turn crises into opportunities serves as a masterclass in achieving greatness against all odds.
