An interesting read with a large insight to Musks companies and personal life, though hard to read at times (style of writing/quotes etc.) Many sections in the book assisted in adding some context to the turmoil of the last few years!

I found Elon Musk's story fascinating, but this audiobook fell short. The narration was dull and some crucial details were skipped.
