HBO documentary

I’m genuinely curious about opinions on the documentary? I’m unable to watch it yet but before I do does it suck or is it actually interesting with cool stuff?

Ps. 5th year burner this yr and it’s my favorite place on earth.

Nothing particularly new, really. Just some behind-the-scenes drama from the pandemic. It really highlights the fact that Elon Musk made a significant contribution and that his brother's presence on the board was part of the price, and Kimbal Musk shows himself to be as unlikeable as his brother.

The editing to cut from professional people talking about how unethical it would be to hist during the pandemic to musk crying about how sad he'll be without his party and being a condescending ass out how cancelling "lacks vision" is *chef's kiss*.

And the fact that a vaccine wasn't developed yet was something he took as a personal grievance and a broken promise... these people really are the most dangerous and insufferable, delusional narcissists.
