The space barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the quest to colonize the cosmos

Christian Davenport – The space barons

A book that aims to take readers into the lives and minds of two of the most powerful men in the world

The space barons aims to take readers into the lives and minds of two of the most powerful men in the world. Elon Musk is the founder and CEO of a number of major companies including Neuralink, Tesla and Space-X. Jeff Bezos is the world’s richest man as the founder of Amazon and the aerospace company Blue Origin, as well as owner of The Washington Post. Both are so rich they have more wealth than many of the world’s nations, and author Christian Davenport – who has worked for The Washington Post as a staff writer since 2000 – is clearly in awe. The book props Bezos and Musk up as greats, as if they and only they are the cause of their vast wealth and corporate empires.
