Elon Musk: American Oligarch Launch Party With Darryl Cunningham

Gosh! is pleased to welcome back Darryl Cunningham to launch his new book Elon Musk: American Oligarch on Thursday 11th September 2025, from 7-9pm. All copies of the book will come with an exclusive signed bookplate too!

Here’s what the publisher Seven Stories Press has to say about the "controversial" new biography:

"An exceptional piece of work, right when we need it most.”—Alan Moore

An unvarnished, critical biography in graphic novel form of the tech innovator and former presidential confidant by the author and illustrator of Putin's Russia: The Rise of a Dictator and Billionaires: The Lives of the Rich and Powerful.

Darryl Cunningham's new study of Elon Musk is a riveting deep dive into the audacious mind and tumultuous journey of the world's richest man.

Spanning several generations, the book traces Musk's journey from his family roots in South Africa and his grandfather's role in the anti-democratic Technocracy movement. It follows his rise to the apex of tech education and influence, covering the creation of PayPal and the meteoric success of Tesla and SpaceX – both fueled by millions in government handouts – his acquisition of X.com and his transformation into a “dark MAGA” influencer and kingmaker. Elon Musk: American Oligarch captures the tension, tumult, and chaos in which oligarchs thrive today.

Meet Darryl and get a signed copy of the book on Thursday 11th September, from 7pm. You can pre-order a signed bookplate edition from our website for mail-order or collection by clicking the link here.
