Elon Musk: O Verdadeiro Homem de Ferro

Everything you need to know about the genius Elon Musk. In addition to the classically told biography, a psychologist's view of Elon Musk's childhood is particularly interesting. His drive to become an entrepreneur, his relationship with his father, the bullying in school, to his worldwide success.

This is a public relations video for Elon Musk, not an actual documentary.

The issues with this films are manyfold.

1. It gives an unbalanced account of Musk, with both the commentary and the interviewees fawning over everything he does instead of a neutral account of his life and his achievements and failures.

2. In some cases both commentator and interviewees give him credit for projects he never even finished, e.g. The hyperloop. I am writing this 7 years after the film came out and it's still in prototype stage, but they talk about it as if it already exists.

3. There are no dissenting voices, and no real criticism.

4. For no good reason, they interview antisemitic conspiracy peddler David Icke, who also has nothing to add to the conversation.

I'd rather recommend Isaacson't biography, which is not only more up to date (goes to 2023) but also gives a more balanced view of Musks achievements and failures, and especially his flaws. This "documentary" is a fan video with a terrible soundtrack.

They have a problem with one person getting through the whole "Elon Musk" story. It is a hand full of people that repeat and repeat themselves and never get to any conclusion.

There is a redeeming value of the fact that the presentation is somewhat in chronological order.

Most of the story is well known; however, there is an occasional surprise allowing you to say, "I did not know that."

After discussing the various facets of Must achievements, the is a small focus on What if A. I. no longer needs people or at least runs the world?

Time to watch "Colossus: The Forbin Project." So, the thinking is brain/A. I. interface. Let us hope it is not IBM's "Watson."

Let us think off the deep end and watch "World on a Wire" (The Criterion Collection.) Or the English abbreviated version "The Thirteenth Floor."

Next, we are introduced to "The Boring company."

Being a tad dated we do not see the latest updates including" Elon Musk says he has moved to Texas. That factory is Tesla's Giga Texas - will be used to build Tesla's Cybertruck, Semi, as well as the Model 3 and Y for the Eastern part of the United States.

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.
