Elon Musk’s biography will be penned by American writer Walter Isaacson, who wrote the biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. The American author has written Kissinger: A Biography, Benjamin Franklin: An American Life, Einstein: His Life and Universe, and American sketches.
“If you’re curious about Tesla, SpaceX & my general goings on, @WalterIsaacson is writing a biography,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday. The Tesla Inc Chief Executive said Isaacson had followed him while he was working for several days to collect material for the book while responding to a question on social media.

Isaacson found similarities between Musk and Jobs during an interview on Yahoo Finance earlier this year, saying, “in some ways, he’s the Steve Jobs of our time.” Elon Musk previously gave interviews for a biography by Ashlee Vance.
In 2015, it was published. This was before Tesla was announced as the world’s most valuable car company, and before SpaceX became the first private company to send humans into orbit, per Reuters.

Replying to another Twitter user who asked whether the book deal meant Musk won’t be writing his own book, Musk replied: “Maybe one day.”

“At long last … someone will penetrate the silent, mysterious, unknowable façade that particular subject projects … ;),” a Twitterati wrote, to which Musk replied with a laughing emoji.
