Hubris Maximus By Faiz Siddiqui | Woodbine Books Kilcullen

Once heralded as a modern-day Edison, Elon Musk has taken up a new role in public consciousness, with his growing desire to both transform global politics and engage in online arguments. What happened? In six short years, Musk turned Tesla into the world’s most valuable automaker and cast himself as a saviour of humanity, an altruist whose fortune would stop climate change and colonize Mars. Now he is the most polarizing and perpetually distracted CEO on the planet. ‘Hubris Maximus’ provides a gripping, detailed portrait of the billionaire’s rapid ascent and his spectacular public implosion.
