Shortly before it was revealed Tesla CEO Elon Musk reached a deal to buy Twitter, it was reported that The New York Times is releasing a documentary about the businessman.
According to Variety, the film is titled “Elon Musk’s Crash Course” and is “the latest in FX and The New York Times’ collaborative documentary series “The New York Times Presents,” which provides in depth looks at prominent people and events, ranging from Janet Jackson to Juul to the 2020 Australian bushfire disasters.”
It added the documentary “is an exposé into Musk’s company Tesla, and its work on self-driving cars. Featuring the reporting from Cade Metz and Neal Boudette of The New York Times, the film will dive into how Tesla’s Autopilot program has resulted in several deaths that Musk and the company has yet to publicly acknowledge, and details Musk’s efforts to kill government investigations into the incidents.”
The film also features “several” former Tesla employees “speaking out against Musk for the first time.”
It is slated to premiere on May 20 on Hulu and FX.

The timing of the news about the documentary raised some eyebrows on Twitter:

The media establishment used to try and hide their efforts to crush anyone who went against them.
Now they're completely open about it: Challenge our power and we will try to ruin you. https://t.co/OpcH4HK7v3

Earlier this month, Musk revealed that he made an offer to buy Twitter as he voiced concerns about its content moderation policy.
However, its board responded by adopting a so-called “poison bill” that would make it harder for him to buy the company.
But on Monday, Twitter announced that it had accepted Musk’s offer to buy it, as IJR reported.
According to a press release on Monday, Twitter’s board agreed to Musk’s offer to buy the company for roughly $44 billion, or $54.20 per share.
Twitter will become a private company after the deal is completed.
