About the Book

An admiring portrait of the pioneering entrepreneur from the former CNBC host and Forbes editor.

One of the most influential figures of our time, Elon Musk is the most talked about man in America who isn’t running for president (yet!). In The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk, veteran business journalist Dennis Kneale chronicles Musk’s extraordinary journey, presenting him as a beacon of inspiration. Musk’s unparalleled success as an innovator and entrepreneur is not just a testament to his genius, but a playbook for those daring to dream big.

Synonymous with groundbreaking advancements and daring ventures, Elon Musk has not only shaped the future with companies like Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and xAI, but has also redefined what it means to be a leader today. Despite facing relentless criticism and controversy, Musk's relentless pursuit of his visions provides invaluable lessons about resilience, innovation, and the power of conviction. Filled with counterintuitive advice like “Tease your critics and torture your enemies” and “work impossible hours and make them keep up,” this illuminating biography reveals how the richest man in the world got that way.

Kneale delves into the essence of Musk’s philosophy, dissecting the principles that have guided his extraordinary journey. From embracing the possibility of the impossible to the strategic handling of critics and media, Musk's approach to life and business offers a unique blueprint for success in today's fast-paced world. His ability to dream big, bet on himself, and turn crises into opportunities serves as a masterclass in achieving greatness against all odds.


Critical Praise

 “For a man who wants to save the world—literally, he does—Elon Musk has far too many outraged, uninformed critics. This book lays out his strengths and presents the passionate defense that Musk has earned. Well done, Dennis Kneale.” — MEGYN KELLY, journalist and host of The Megyn Kelly Show

“He is a force of nature, and this book’s eleven lessons reveal how you can tap into the power of Elon Musk.” — CHRIS RUDDY, founder/CEO of Newsmax

“What would Elon do? While everyone talks about the vision of Elon Musk, none of his successes could have happened without his incredible work ethic. Everyone has this same work ethic. Learn to unlock yours in Lesson 5: ‘Most people are loafers. Work harder than you ever have before.’” — CHARLES PAYNE, anchor of Making Money on the Fox Business Network

“Saving the planet and colonizing Mars are less essential than saving free speech and rescuing Twitter from the ‘woke mind virus.’ He did it for us, and we owe him. Lesson 6 makes this clear.” — JOE KERNEN, anchor of Squawk Box on CNBC

“Elon Musk turns seemingly unachievable moonshots into reality again and again. Dennis Kneale shows us how.” — KEITH FERRAZZI, author of Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time and Never Lead Alone: 10 Shifts from Leadership to Teamship
