Elon Musk - Darryl Cunningham

Darryl Cunningham''s new graphic biography of Elon Musk is a riveting deep dive into the audacious mind and tumultuous journey of the world''s richest man. Using his signature pictographic style-clean lines, vivid colours, and lean panel compositions-Cunningham peels back the layers of myth around Musk to deliver a timely portrait that is provocative and informative. Spanning several generations, the book traces Musk''s journey from his family roots in South Africa and his grandfather''s role in the Technocracy movement to his current position at the apex of tech power and far-right politics. From Musk''s early education and influences, the creation of PayPal, and the meteoric rise of Tesla and SpaceX thanks to millions in government handouts, to his acquisition of X.com and his ascension as a ''dark MAGA'' influencer and kingmaker, Elon Musk: American Oligarch captures the tension, tumult, and chaos in which oligarchs thrive today. Cunningham''s award-winning clarity and style sparkle as he presents freewheeling financial and engineering concepts used by startups and tech companies. This fast-paced biography reveals the complex interactions of visionary ideas, relentless drive, and unyielding ambition. Elon Musk: American Oligarch offers a fresh, unvarnished look at Musk''s rise, aggressive leadership style, and appetite for risk-taking that have propelled him into a unique position as an unelected private business owner with unprecedented access to political power.
