Isaacson, biographer of Da Vinci, Franklin, Jobs and Einstein produced “Elon Musk” nearly three years ago after two years of exhaustive, embedded contact with him. A complex, multi-faceted and imperfect person he is far more than his dollars. Reading it engenders surprising respect.

And one big hug your way.
