Walter Isaacson’s new biography of Elon Musk had an impressive debut, with over 92,000 copies sold in its first week. This achievement landed it as the second best-selling book in its opening week.
Even Elon Musk himself shared his thoughts on social media, finding it a bit odd to see so many close-up pictures of his face in the book.
Walter Isaacson, known for writing about iconic figures like Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, spent two years working on this biography. He immersed himself in Musk’s world, attending meetings, touring his factories, and conducting extensive interviews with Musk and those around him.
Isaacson’s previous biography of Steve Jobs, published shortly after Jobs’ death in 2011, sold nearly 383,000 copies in its first week.
“Elon Musk” has also claimed the top spot on The New York Times’ bestseller list, and you can find it on Amazon for ₹952. It’s clear that readers are eager to learn more about Musk’s life and work.
