According to Amazon, Isaacson shadowed Elon Musk for two years, attended his meetings, walked in his factories with him for the research of this book. He interviewed Musk, his family, friends, coworkers and adversaries as well.

The book reveals that Musk was regularly bullied and beaten in South Africa, back when he was a kid. Musk’s sour relationship with his father played a major role in what he has become today. This impact of this relationship is the reason behind Musk’s “Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, 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.”

During a recent Twitter Spaces interview, Isaacson said that Musk can go into a ‘demon mode’. He described “demon mode” as a state of dark and with a real lack of empathy, but also highly productive. He said, “Musk has a great engineering mind but the difficulty, everyone who has dealt with him knows and he has enough self-aware to know, is that he has a dark streak to him.”

He added that the reason behind this dark side of him is because of his difficult childhood. He stated, “He has a dark streak coming out of a very brutal and violent childhood during which he saw strong psychological difficulties with his father. This streak is sometimes called ‘demon mode’ by his friend Claire Boucher.”

The book also circles around the billionaire’s achievements of launching 31 rockets into orbit with SpaceX, Tesla selling a million cars and becoming the richest man on earth.

The Elon Musk biography is priced at $28 (approx Rs 2,300) on the Amazon website. The listing describes Musk as the “most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era”.
