NYTimes Announces 'Expose' Documentary About Elon Musk As He Reaches Deal to Buy Twitter
Independent Journal Review ^ | April 25, 2022 at 3:45pm | By Bradley Cortright

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.

There’s a reason the legacy media is called the corrupt media, they are corrupt. They are not journalists, they are Leftist activists.

Lol! Its like they had it ready to go, held back until they could determine which “side” he was on.

He’s about to get the Trump treatment. We should admire what he has taken on.

It’s the NYT. The article will have the scholarship of a ten year old, the facts of a five year old, and the smell of a soiled one year old.

Pair this story with the one appearing at GatewayPundit.

“New Evidence filed in Boone County Missouri on Friday, April 8th, proves that Sheena Greitens worked with Karl Rove and other politically connected operatives to make up false allegations about MAGA US Senate Candidate Eric Greitens. Extensive photographic evidence, as well as notes and records from doctors, dentists, a therapist, and a mediator, all show that Sheena Greitens committed perjury and submitted a false report of abuse. Karl Rove and Sheena are now both fighting subpoenas for their cell phone records.

Washington DC is rotten to the core. It operates exactly as a banana republic.
