This is not a glorious story of a technical team pulling out all stops to win.

It’s a company in serious financial trouble sinking and the CEO making terrible micromanaged decisions and railroading and bullying his experts.

Straight NO to working for Musk.

I loved the Walter Isaacson Steve Jobs biography but zero interest in reading this book.

Can you say more about why his behavior would make you disinterested in the Isaacson book? I'd imagine the fact that it seems there are parallels between both men would make it an interesting read especially for someone who could compare and contrast it with the Jobs book.

There are no parallels.

Because Steve Jobs was a smart a-hole. Musk is just an a-hole by all accounts. Nobody wants to read a book about a pampered South African neo-nazi racist and how he has consistently taken credit for other people's work while peddling to dictators across the world and treating his employees as actual slaves.
