You may not be a fan of Elon Musk. Perhaps you’re not even very interested in him. 

But if you watch “Musk”, a gruelling new documentary, you will realise that, osmotically, you have come to know a lot about the sometime trillionaire. 

This is a compliment to his influence and ubiquity. It is less positive news for the documentary itself. 

Beyond its bloat and paucity of revelations, the problem with “Musk” is that it wavers between two damning—but different—analyses. Tap the link in our bio to learn what they are.

The economist with another headline trying its best to defend billionaires. When you put out this kind of thing it makes you look extremely disingenuous as an organization. Every time there’s a major criticism of a billionaire you have to try and change the narrative. Every time a democratic socialist wins a primary you have to run a propaganda piece about their chances of winning. Very telling.

Професіоналізм стосується лише звичайних смертних. Від них очікують наявності університетських дипломів — разом із усілякими відзнаками — а також професійного досвіду; проте до «інших» ці правила просто не застосовуються. Вони роблять усе, що їм заманеться, і люди, яких через їхню реальну кваліфікацію в будь-якому іншому місці навіть не сприймали б серйозно, цілком закономірно впливають неймовірно на політичні процеси.
