🌻 This Filmmaker Exposed Benjamin Netanyahu. Now, He’s Taking On Elon Musk | Zeteo

“We think of [Elon Musk] as this futuristic tech titan, but he’s really the classic American trickster or confidence man — the man who bullshits us with great confidence and so much confidence that people come to him asking for answers on any number of subjects. And, he just bullshits.”

In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview — Mehdi Hasan sits down with filmmaker Alex Gibney, who previously exposed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to discuss a new four-hour long exposé on the world’s richest man: Elon Musk. Mehdi and Gibney, both critics of Elon Musk, dive into how the trillionaire became so powerful and why Gibney believes he may be the world’s most dangerous man. Throughout the wide-ranging conversation, they also discuss the legal threats Musk’s lawyers made against Gibney and his team.

Gibney also explains how Musk was able to create a “genius” persona, the U.S. government’s complicity in his rise, how Musk become involved in right-wing politics and the volatile relationship between Musk and Donald Trump — something Gibney calls a “marriage of convenience.”
