thebalanced.newsTwo Books Explore Elon Musk's Entrepreneurial Vision and Impact of 'Muskism'
Two recent books offer contrasting views on Elon Musk and his influence. 'The Book of Elon' by Adrian Jorgenson presents Musk as a visionary entrepreneur focused on purpose, hard work, and humanity's future. In contrast, 'Muskism' by Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff critiques Musk's business model as a system blending technological power, state reliance, and libertarian rhetoric, reshaping global political economy with unequal impacts. Together, they explore Musk's complex role in technology and society.
