520    When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly
       beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some 
       concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen
       ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the 
       physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones 
       inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and 
       charismatic fantasist. His father's impact on his psyche 
       would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man
       -child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with 
       an 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. At the 
       beginning of 2022, after a year marked by SpaceX launching
       thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million 
       cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth, Musk 
       spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. For
       two years, Isaacson shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, 
       walked his factories with him, and spent hours 
       interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and 
       adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, 
       filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that 
       addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk 
       also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?
