VICE News Presents: Cult of Elon

Not a lot to chew on here, largely a bunch of people who made a lot of money on Tesla complimenting or gushing over their idol. One guy is negative, but we're told he lost money.

The documentary had some chances to dive into some interesting topics, (love him or not, Elon is interesting as he's so opinionated), but it kept going back to Tesla and it's believers. A lot is said about him using Twitter, but it's not until the last five minutes that they discuss his acquisition of it.

Rather than a documentary about who, how and why Elon Musk is... We get in depth interviews with people touched by the dude and his greatness. Which is what it says on the tin I suppose, but it's a bit dull.

I am not one that puts a whole lot of stock into VICE "News", they seem to lean far too much to one side of the social and political spectrum and rarely have any objectivity. This documentary is no exception, they focus too much on negative and many times simply perceived negativity surrounding Elon Musk, his fans and the people who invest in his Tesla company. They dance around his autism and quirkiness only to mark him as secretly incompetent or overly mean. One journalist was ultra negative and extremely biased, even going so far as to say some legally actionable statements, hopefully Elon's lawyers see this documentary at some point. I cannot say I enjoyed this film in any way.
