TV tip: Elon Musk - the tech titan
PERSONAL For some, he is a visionary; for others, Elon Musk is an entrepreneur who is as driven as he is inscrutable and unpredictable.
A documentary by SWR, which ARD will broadcast on August 31 at 11 p.m. in the First Program, is now dedicated to the Tesla boss. The film "Elon Musk - the Tech Titan" lets old companions and former employees have their say. They explain what drives the 51-year-old and what means he uses to achieve his goals. The film will also be available in the ARD Media Center from August 29.
Hardly any other figure of our time divides public opinion as much as Elon Musk. The flamboyant mastermind behind Tesla and SpaceX has caused stock markets to go crazy with individual tweets, while his controversial PR appearances have some experts doubting his true motives.
Reach, wealth and influence
Through globalized capabilities and universal technical reach, Musk has wealth and influence that far exceeds that of most nations and democratically elected heads of state.
With his own satellite system Starlink, he has now even transformed the night sky. But who is Elon Musk really? What drives him, what motivates him? The film by Richard Sanders provides answers.
