The recently published book Power Play by Tim Higgins is a very nice history of Tesla. It describes the Elon playbook in great detail:
1) Formulate goals that are guaranteed to fail.
2) Hire a pliable dude to do your bidding.
3) When the moment of truth comes, scapegoat your dude and swoop in to save the day.
