Elon Musk: The Real Life Iron Man

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.

It was well worth seeing for me and worth a watch for insight into Elon's weird and wonderful life. It takes us right back to his childhood in South Africa, dives into his personal life and follows his journey to stunning entrepreneurial success. This dude is awesome. The greatest innovator of our time. I wish I had his motivation. Thanks for your commitment to making the world a better place. You rock dude!

This extremely laudatory documentary addresses the many stunning and fantastic accomplishments of Elon Musk. It is a public relations tourde force. The challenges Mr. Musk has faced with his eccentric personality and unconventional family choices are not addressed. To skim over such matters as is done here deprives the viewer of the reality of his place in the world. As it stands released six years ago,this work is to be taken with a grain of salt.

The admiring narration is rather banal and extraordinarily flattering. There are books available, which tell the story of his life in greater and more revealing detail. If you are interested, it would be wise to read those.

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.

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.
