"Tesla Files" documentary questions Musk's political influence

A new documentary titled "Tesla Files" will be unveiled this week at the CPH:DOX international documentary festival in Copenhagen. The film aims to reveal concerns about Elon Musk's political influence. It is produced by the Beetz Brothers from Germany and directed by Andreas Pichler. The documentary is based on 100GB of leaked internal data from a whistleblower named Lukasz Krupski. He previously worked for Tesla in Norway and claims that the company's self-driving technology was not safe. Krupski was fired in 2022. The film explores Musk's approach to innovation, suggesting that he often prioritizes quick technological solutions over truth, which can have serious consequences. "Tesla Files" features testimonies from former Tesla employees and whistleblowers. The filmmakers aim to highlight the human impact of Tesla's technology, focusing on the families affected by tragic incidents involving Tesla's autopilot. The film will also examine Musk's rise in politics, questioning whether it is a strategy to avoid accountability amid ongoing investigations into Tesla in Europe and by the U.S. Department of Justice. The documentary is set to explore Musk’s influence over the company and the connections between his business and political power. "Tesla Files" is currently halfway through production and is being sold by Mediawan Rights, a part of the European media group Mediawan, which owns the Beetz Brothers.
