SALT LAKE CITY — Early reviews of a new biography of Tesla/SpaceX CEO Elon Musk by former Time Magazine Editor Walter Isaacson, due out Tuesday, reveal a book that provides rare insight on the mercurial business titan and world's richest man but reportedly leaves the question of whether Musk is ultimately a force for good or evil to the reader.
While Musk was not involved in the founding of the Tesla Motors company, he became part of the startup via a multimillion-dollar investment in 2004.

And, along the way, Musk also founded or co-founded a few other innovation startups including SolarCity in 2006, Starlink in 2014, The Boring Co. in 2016 and NeuraLink in 2016. In a moment the New York Times describes as "one of the book's biggest scoops," Isaacson wrote an account of Musk secretly directing engineers at his Starlink satellite internet company to turn off Ukraine's internet coverage to prevent the country's military from launching a drone attack on Russian forces in Crimea.
