If you want insight into Musk, I recommend reading "The Man who sold the Moon" by Robert Heinlein.

Heinlein fully develops a storyline that revolves around the heroic actions of the protagonist, the richest and smartest man on Earth.


Thought it worth as an OP, but was originally a response to this post on Elon Musk

Musk is wrong about Mars

Guy may be the richest, but he isn't the smartest like Delos D. Harriman.

Thank you for the reminder about the book, Never OAITW r.2.0. Heinlein knew how to sell stories and ideas.
