Beschreibung

<p><b>A <i>NEW YORKER</i> AND <i>ECONOMIST</i> BEST BOOK OF 2026</b></p><p><b>“An illuminating book that examines where Mr. Musk came from and the episodes that shaped his worldview. In many ways it is the inverse of Walter Isaacson’s authorised biography. . . . the authors provide a portrait of his psyche that is arguably more revealing. . . . the resulting book is, you might say, a Musk-read.” <i> –The Economist</i></b></p><p><b>"<i>Muskism</i> cuts straight to the core of the man and the moment, explaining how a mercurial, conspiracy-prone, vicious bastard can inspire loyalty and billions in other peoples' money, and the nightmare world he wants to build with those billions." –Cory Doctorow, author of <i>Enshittification</i></b></p><p><b>A <i>Financial Times </i>Best Book of Summer 2026 • A <i>Kirkus </i>Most Anticipated Nonfiction Book of Spring 2026 • A <i>Literary Hub </i>Most Anticipated Book of the Year</b></p><p><b>A pyrotechnic examination of Elon Musk as a symptom and avatar of our postliberal age</b></p><p>Everyone’s got an Elon take. He’s a messiah. A menace; a genius; a clown. The verdicts differ, but they share one theme: they treat him as an individual.</p><p><i>Muskism</i> argues otherwise. Elon Musk isn’t a glitch in the system—he is the system. His worldview promises sovereignty through technology: plug in, power up, and become self-reliant. But the more you connect, the more he owns you.</p><p>If Fordism defined the capitalism of the twentieth century, Muskism may define the twenty-first. Fordism helped build the welfare state. Musk undoes it. He thrives on dependence while preaching freedom. His cars run on subsidies; his satellites run the battlefield; his social networks train the AI that trains us.</p><p>Muskism sells itself as the future but entrenches age-old hierarchies. It offers autonomy for some and exclusion for others. It’s pro-natalist but anti-immigrant, futurist but reactionary. It speaks of humanity but warns against empathy.</p><
