Publisher's Summary

A riveting YA biography that shows how a once-bullied school boy became an iconic visionary who the New York Times described as "arguably the most important and successful entrepreneur in the world".

Elon Musk is the visionary behind SpaceX and CEO of the electric car company Tesla. He is working on unique and daring improvements to both public transit and solar energy. And then, there's his highly-publicized plans for colonizing Mars....

But behind the mind-blowing headlines and legendary drive is the story of a bullied and beaten school boy, who through creativity and determination decided to rewrite his story and find his own way to make the world a better place. And to do so with a sense of fun and style.

From hosting raves to pay for college to re-writing the rules on space travel, Elon Musk has always gone his own way. And now, award-winning investigative journalist, Anna Crowley Redding takes listeners on a well-researched trip through Elon's life and accomplishments.

Story is essentially a summary of everything you’ve read or heard before.

And, the narration totally horrible. As much as I enjoy a summary like this, I just had to bail an hour into it.
The best way to describe the narration would be to term it as “childish”.

Horrible narrarators

The narrators literally ruined this book for me. Terrible enunciation and annoying switches back and forth.
