As someone that has spent way too much time reading up on and studying Musk and all the stuff he's done (good and bad) there was little new in the documentary for me. It still was a very well crafted, albeit a bit long by maybe an hour, summary of his life (good and bad). For people unfamiliar with the side not crafted by the media there will be lots of shock. It's pretty impressive how compelling and inspiring his vision can be even among all that negative information. In some ways it is good that he's gone mask off with his megalomania and fascist tendencies because otherwise it would be even harder to see through the marketing glitz that he constantly pumps out. My one big complaint was the virtual Elon interviewee clips. That's where they told us they fed every word that has he's ever said/written they could find into an LLM and had it generate video of him answering interview questions. I hate AI generated video aesthetics anyway but I *really* hate this whole genre of "historical recreation". I think humans will too readily assume this is "real" more than some impersonator/actor doing the same thing. It was definitely worth seeing. I hope that MUsk's $1 billion buy in of Skydance doesn't cause the Ellisons to pocket veto its release to US streaming and/or that Netflix (the only platform I think that would) picks it up instead. Sadly, the documentary just shows what an unstoppable juggernaut these billionaire techbros are right now. Is it possible to stop them? If so how? I wish I saw someone with a compelling answer because it *needs* to happen sooner rather than later.
