Writing a biography of Musk presents the author with something of a unique challenge in that however late you dare to put the terminal full point on your typescript, by the time your book hits the shops it’s going to be out of date. He’s also a trigger-happy tweeter with a ‘will he/won’t he?’ starring lead in the switchback ride of whether he’ll end up owning Twitter. The longer answer comes in the form of ‘Elon Musk: Risking it All’ (Icon Books (£14.99, ISBN 9781776191857), which depicts the entrepreneur as a boundary-pushing tech-cult billionaire. The short response is readily available on virtually any newsfeed you care to consult, for the co-founder and CEO of Tesla – depending on how you measure it, probably the richest human on Earth – can’t be accused of staying out of the limelight. But let’s imagine for a minute that there is asking the question that journalist Michael Vlismas has set out to answer - who is Elon Musk? It’s a safe bet that there will be barely a single reader of E&T who has not heard the name of arguably the most famous person in the world of technology today.
