\n\tA potentially explosive doc titled \u201cElon Musk<\/a> Unveiled \u2013 The Tesla Experiment\u201d\u00a0 is set to launch from the upcoming IDFA<\/a> documentary festival in Amsterdam, where its Nov. 16 premiere will be attended by several former Tesla employees, insiders and whistleblowers who spoke out.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI had a moral obligation to tell the world what is really going on behind the curtain,\u201d says former Tesla autopilot employee John Bernal\u00a0in the doc\u2019s trailer, which Variety is launching exclusively (watch above).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cElon Musk Unveiled\u201d \u201cpulls back the curtain on Musk\u2019s empire, as close confidants, whistleblowers, victims and former high-ranking Tesla employees speak out,\u201d says the doc\u2019s logline. \u201cTheir testimonies expose hidden data and buried defects in the race for self-driving cars \u2014 where unchecked ambition costs lives and challenges Big Tech\u2019s most powerful titan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor the very first time, we get a really close insight of how Tesla works and how Elon Musk is managing his company,\u201d producer Christian Beetz, CEO of Beetz Brothers, tells Variety. <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter he launches \u201cElon Musk Unveiled\u201d on the European festival circuit, Beetz is very keen to also bring the doc to U.S. audiences.<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by Germany\u2019s Beetz Brothers and directed by Andreas Pichler (\u201cThe Milk System\u201d), \u201cTesla Experiment\u201d takes its cue from 100GB of leaked internal data provided by a whistleblower named Lukasz Krupski, who worked for Tesla in Norway, to German business newspaper Handelsblatt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cTesla Experiment\u201d weaves three interconnected narratives. The first one is a storyline \u201cthat examines Musk\u2019s grip on Tesla and his transformation from tech entrepreneur to political strategist,\u201d according to promotional materials. The second is \u201cvictim stories, which focus on personal tragedies caused by Tesla\u2019s autopilot, contrasting Musk\u2019s grand technological ambitions with the real suffering of those left behind.\u201d And the third delves into investigations into Musk following journalists and lawyers uncovering the inner workings of Tesla through leaked data and \u201crevealing a pattern of cover-ups, regulatory evasion, and a growing entanglement between Musk\u2019s empire and political power,\u201d the materials say.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a good thing that there are people like Musk who have this \u2018move fast, break things mentality\u2019 which aims to bring new ideas and innovation into our societies,\u201d said Yara Hueck Costa, an executive producer on the doc. \u201cBut of course, there\u2019s a risk. And in this case, people are dying for this technology because they are testing the technology on our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cElon Musk Unveiled \u2013 The Tesla Experiment\u201d\u00a0is a Beetz Brothers film production in coproduction with HR, SWR,\u00a0WDR and NDR for German broadcaster ARD and Comcast-owned pay-TV service Sky, and in collaboration with Handelsblatt.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe high-profile doc is being sold by Mediawan Rights, the sales unit of European media conglomerate Mediawan. Mediawan owns Germany\u2019s Leonine Studios that, in turn, owns Beetz Brothers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A potentially explosive doc titled \u201cElon Musk Unveiled \u2013 The Tesla Experiment\u201d\u00a0 is set to launch from the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[18,1647,117,100402,19,17,327],"class_list":{"0":"post-176872","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-elon-musk","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-idfa","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-movies"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
