Elon Musk: The Real Life Iron Man

This movie was extremely boring. Elon is not a prophet or a savior to the technological world. He is given credit to things when he doesn't deserve it. Most people don't know he weaseled his way into tesla automotive. This might be a shock to his followers but he didn't invent the tesla cars. He merely strong armed his way in with money and cause a rift within the original company to position himself for the leadership position. After he took hold of tesla, it was hundreds of actual engineers that worked/design and improved the cars to what they are now without elons self absorbed narrassasitic and over egoed self.

First and foremost, Artificial Intelligence was what I spent many years in graduate school studying. This is an excellent documentary. Most of the information it delivers is real for today's science. So where this is going? Intelligent Systems will likely cost many people their jobs; we are living a reality where AI is poised to make a major impact in all of our lives. Let me finish by suggestion you watch this and really think about the facts it presents. The future is upon us.........

I dont often find myself enjoying movies where the villain. That being said, this movie portrays a real life villain that is accurately depicted as man who has an almost intangible amount of money and does things beyond the reach of what any normal middle class person could ever do. Truly this movie is a testament to what you can do if only your family had become increasingly wealthy due to the role in apartheid, and you had the ambition that only a true sociopath can, and suppress your worker's right to organize to the best of your ability, while typically, maintaining your rights within the law.

Despite opinions to the contrary, Elon Musk is not a robot, but he has done things that very few living people can claim.

This well-done documentary explores his powerful visions and spends time on important issues. There are particularly interesting sections on the potential of getting to Mars and the benefits of autonomous vehicles, as well as the developments in artificial intelligence, which are seen as terrifying, even by some involved in creating them.

Musk, often hailed as a visionary for his ambitious ventures like SpaceX and Tesla, faces significant hate despite his intentions to drive progress for humanity.

Critics frequently label him a "narcissist" or "hypocrite," pointing to his controversial statements-like calling a British diver a "pedo guy" during the Thai cave rescue-or his handling of Twitter after its 2022 acquisition. Others resent his immense wealth, seeing him as a symbol of inequality. Yet his actions stem from a genuine desire to do good-SpaceX aims to colonize Mars to ensure humanity's survival, Tesla pushes for sustainable energy to combat climate change, and Neuralink seeks to revolutionize healthcare for the disabled. While his methods may polarize, his goal of advancing human civilization reveals a complex figure whose innovations should overshadow the criticism he endures.

This is an older documentary, but a compelling watch. The film captures Musk at a pivotal moment in his career, before some of his more controversial moves.

What stands out most is the glowing testimony from Musk's friends and colleagues who know him well-like former PayPal VP Julie Anderson-Ankenbrandt and astronaut Per Wimmer-who have nothing but praise for his relentless drive, visionary thinking, and genuine desire to better humanity. Their accounts paint Musk as an inspiring, if eccentric, genius, offering a stark contrast to the hate he faces today. For anyone looking to understand the man behind the headlines, this documentary is a good starting point that highlights the positivity surrounding Musk's mission-driven life.

A standout moment is the exploration of Musk's childhood, where his solitary nature and love for sci-fi books foreshadow his Mars ambitions. The film traces his journey from a nerdy, bullied kid in South Africa to a billionaire innovator, highlighting his relentless drive and unconventional thinking of the mastermind behind PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX.

It examines his ability to dream big and defy odds, whether it's landing rockets with SpaceX or attempting to revolutionize transportation. His story is peppered with setbacks like Tesla's early struggles and triumphs like SpaceX's reusable rockets-it feels like a real-life superhero saga. It left me in awe.

It makes me want to go out and change the world.
