this is cool, I just noticed that #BookWyrm reviews show up in #GotoSocial and #NeoDB with the title as a spoiler warning

12:28• Back technicat@bookwyrm.socialtechnicattechnicat@bookwyrm.social3/9/2025HideI read this several years ago so my memory is abit hazy but I recall thinking it was generallyworshipful and a bit of a hagiography (itpredates the first Trump presidency but inrecent interviews the author, who has afascination with space moguls, still talks aboutMusk like he's Steve Jobs). Nevertheless, it's acomprehensive bio up to that point so now whenI hear a reference to an ex-wife, for example, ordisputes about who actually founded Tesla, Ialready know the deal. So it's worth reading forbackground, but I am perhaps unreasonablygoing to hold it against the author for notwarning us we have a billionaire white nationaliston our hands (an issue the author has avoidedtouching on in all his nterviews about Musk thatl've seen, so maybe not that unreasonable).ELON MUSKASHLEE VANGEJ BookWyrmElon MuskTesla, Spacex, and the Quest for aFantastic FutureAshlee Vance* *iAshlee Vance: Elon Musk (2015,Ecco, an imprint ofHarperCollinsPublishers)1technicattechnicat@bookwyrm.social3/9/2025
