Musk

Musk
The Man Who Broke the Simulation

by James Johnson

Dedication

To the ones who never logged out.
And to the coders, dreamers, and lunatics who dared to ask:

“What if this isn’t real?”

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


TO EVERYONE WHO tried to make sense of Elon Musk.
I get it now. You can’t. You just ride the wave.

Thanks to the rocket builders, car engineers, meme lords, critics, fans, stans, and haters.
You built the simulation right alongside him.

Special thanks to my Wi-Fi connection, which barely survived writing this book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


JJ WRITES BIOGRAPHIES about the people who bent reality without asking first. He specializes in decoding billionaires, empires, and the glitchy software we call “civilization.”

He does not live on Mars… yet.
