Another look at one of the world’s most polarising billionaires as he swaps rockets and electric cars for raw political power. The programme covers Musk’s tumultuous takeover of Twitter/X, the seismic fallouts of his personal life, and his evolution into a political force on both sides of the Atlantic.

With immersive archive footage and revealing testimony from childhood friends, political insiders and former employees, this documentary charts how his quest to 'save humanity' collides with culture wars, AI breakthroughs and far-right movements in the US and UK.
