Another pirated documentary about Elon, with some bits missing & some episodes already copyright struck. The missing bits are nothing we don't already know. The more salient features were the most coverage of his father we've ever seen.

The resemblance between Elon & Errol is extraordinary. They both have the same facial expressions. They both have the same abusive side. Errol talks about car engines the same way Elon talks about rocket engines.
Despite his father's abusiveness, Elon still left his mother to live with his father. It might have been the financial aid. Picking the more abusive parent with the higher chance of giving you an edge is something most of us wouldn't do.
A common theme was Elon not being driven by a mission as much as a refusal to lose. There was a contest between him & 1 of his ex girlfriends in a meaningless class, but he still had to score higher in it no matter how meaningless it was. Guess the same applies to Twitter, meaningless but he can't lose.
Most of us have been laid off many times, have had many employers go out of business, have had to do floor jobs below our job titles, but the interviewees acted like Elon's companies going out of business was the end of the world, Tesla running out of money was the peak of human despair, & marketing guys driving screws was humiliating. Don't know if they were hamming it up for the camera, expected jobs for life, or Elon only hired true believers for management.
Most of us just go home & let the shit hit the fan after a certain number of beatings, but these guys acted like they were going to die of COVID if Tesla didn't make that 4700th car. If our typical boss thinks we're dogshit, he can just start a fan club with the 10,000 other internet commenters, but with Elon's top brass it's like dear god Elon thinks I'm dogshit. They didn't interview any peons.
Guess it's 1 documentary which will stay on the hard drive.
