Darryl Cunningham’s new graphic biography of Elon Musk is a riveting deep dive into the audacious mind and tumultuous journey of the world’s richest man. Using his signature pictographic style-clean lines, vivid colours, and lean panel compositions-Cunningham peels back the layers of myth around Musk to deliver a timely portrait that is provocative and informative. Spanning several generations, the book traces Musk’s journey from his family roots in South Africa and his grandfather’s role in the Technocracy movement to his current position at the apex of tech power and far-right politics. Elon Musk: American Oligarch offers a fresh, unvarnished look at Musk’s rise, aggressive leadership style, and appetite for risk-taking that have propelled him into a unique position as an unelected private business owner with unprecedented access to political power.
