Essay
What interests me in a figure like Musk is not whether I agree with everything. It is the scale of intention. I am drawn to people who make ordinary ambition look too small, especially when the work touches systems, technology, and the future at a civilizational scale.
That is why this biography connects to Ambition, Scale, and the Future of Humanity in my mind. It keeps the question of scope alive. What does it look like when a person aims at industries instead of projects. What does that do to the work, and what does it do to the person.
