06.01.2022 #BookReview "Elon Musk: A Mission to Save the World, is a quick and fun read. It is more suited to a younger audience, which is in part what makes the biography so enjoyable. The book covers Elon's life achievements, but more importantly pays credence to his history, detailing the bullied South African schoolboy, and how through creativity and determination, he set out to succeed to become the visionary billionaire we know today. A short and worthwhile read." - Ray Borrow here: https://rb.gy/ib0zma #ElonMusk
