Last year, when Musk tweeted about the $50 Cyberwhistle, the product was [sold out in hours](https://interestingengineering.com/culture/elon-musk-presents-the-new-50-cyberwhistle-was-sold-out-in-hours). Musk also did not dither from making a joke about his Twitter acquisition which was due for trial in court, until recently. In 24 hours, Musk has raked in $2 million worth of orders in a department he has no expertise in. [he tweeted](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1579974298156306432?s=20&t=WbMdnjrfC9Ac6UeHxuMpUw), "With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable – why did I even fight it for so long!?"

The Elon Musk Show is a BBC Two documentary series about the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. It features interviews with Musk's ex-wife Talulah and his mother Maye.

During this time, Elon is sleeping on the floor of his office to save money, but he will go on to make an unimaginable fortune. The Elon Musk Show features interviews with important people from the billionaire’s life including his two-time ex-wife, actress Talulah Riley, and his mother, Maye. The Elon Musk Show speaks to the people closest to the world’s richest man, South African born techn entrepreneur Elon Musk.

In a new BBC documentary called The Elon Musk Show, Jim Ambras said Musk's face "would turn red" when he saw staff were not at their desks at night.

Branden Spikes, a systems engineer at Zip2 also interviewed for the documentary, described Musk as an "unusual fellow" who would work late and then sleep under his desk. [ranked as the most inspiring leader](https://www.businessinsider.com/most-inspiring-tech-execs-hired-musk-bezos-zuckerberg-2019-9#1-elon-musk-cofounder-and-ceo-tesla-and-spacex-10) in tech. She said she would dress him while he was still half-asleep. Zip2, which provided online city guide software to newspapers, was founded in Palo Alto by Musk and his brother Kimbal in 1995 as Global Link Information Network in 1995. The first episode was broadcast in the UK on Wednesday night. He also called the South African a "know-it-all" who thought he knew "just about everything about everything."

He's the most influential entrepreneur of his age but you wouldn't want to work for him.

(That said, he is certainly capable of cruelty and spite.) Instead, he is a very odd fish swimming in the rarefied waters of Lake Tech Bro. He’s almost like a character from a science-fiction novel (though not one of the wise ones by Iain M Banks). Part one of The Elon Musk Show focuses on his formative years in the tech industry. Banks isn’t mentioned in The Elon Musk Show (BBC Two, Wednesday, 9pm), a thorough and absorbing portrait of the Tesla chief executive. As a baby-faced tech entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, Elon Musk devoured the science-fiction novels of Iain M Banks. “He works in mysterious ways,” says one software engineer who sounds both intoxicated and traumatised by his time toiling alongside Musk.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said his latest financial venture was seemingly inevitable: A new perfume tied to his name, "Burnt Hair.".

Musk is the king of Twitter, and he is (next to Donald Trump when he was on the platform) the number one shit-stirrer on there. His rockets take people (successfully) to the International Space Station; his solar panels are some of the best in the industry; and the AI prowess his companies have is second to none. Trump [has said](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-will-not-return-to-twitter-even-if-elon-musk-purchases-platform-will-begin-using-his-truth-social) he doesn’t want to come back, but come on, let’s be realistic here: Once Trump sees that little white box and that flash keyboard sign and smells his millions of faithful MAGA followers, all it’ll take is one tweet for him to be back. The judge in the case ruled (mostly in favor of Twitter), and Musk was [about to be deposed](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/sep/27/elon-musk-deposition-twitter-takeover-deal) when he decided he probably should actually buy Twitter.

First, if Musk had been forced to testify, he would have been asked questions related to Tesla and SpaceX, and could have been put in a situation that would force him to reveal how he runs both companies—and their deepest, darkest secrets—on the stand. One banker I spoke to said the only scenario where Musk doesn’t have to buy Twitter is if a black hole swallows earth or the planet is destroyed by a meteor. Finally, if Musk had lost the case and been forced to buy Twitter, but still refused, he would have potentially faced hefty fines. It’s clear he doesn’t want to go through with it, but it’s also clear he might not have a choice. This is a waste of time.” And then: “Will make an offer to take Twitter private.” Cut to a few months later—when Musk realized he didn’t really want to own the most controversial company in Silicon Valley—and he pulled out of the deal. If the stock had continued to fall (which it has) and he’d then lost his case and been forced to buy Twitter, he would have needed to sell more Tesla stock to make up the difference, a surely unfavorable outcome. In short, Musk was about to join the board of Twitter, but in typical Musk fashion, he was still throwing bombs at the company and tweeted, “Is Twitter dying?” This pissed off Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s 89th CEO (just kidding), who told Musk to stop.

Lawyers representing Twitter claimed in a legal filing that Elon Musk is "presently under investigation by federal authorities for his conduct in connection with the acquisition of Twitter," and pushed Musk to hand over his communications with federal officials, marking the latest twist in a legal whirlwind involving the world's richest man and his embattled $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform.

Mr. Musk's plan to buy Twitter underscores the need for federal regulation of social media sites.

To realize the full value of increased competition, the government also needs to mandate that the users of a social media site can leave with their data. The government has a long history of imposing special obligations on mass media. Policymakers also should consider the role that social media might play in strengthening democracy. A simple example would be a requirement to provide geographically specific election information from verified sources. A 1996 law requiring cellphone companies to let people keep the same number when switching providers made it easier for people to move to new carriers. In a 2020 report, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences That is because government has abandoned the principle that mass media companies have special obligations to society, and it has allowed a few big social networks to suffocate competition, leaving users and advertisers without practical choices or leverage. Government regulation, however, should not focus solely on checking the dangers posed by social media networks. Democrats have aimed a lot of rhetorical fire at the big tech companies. Better laws could help to revive competition, restrain harmful behavior and even realize the potential of social media to strengthen American democracy rather than undermine it. Whether or not Elon Musk ends up acquiring Twitter, his plans have caused consternation because of a simple truth: The owners of social media sites have too much power. A person with a Gmail account can send messages to a person with a Yahoo account because email systems are interoperable.

“Twitter did not ask Zatko to torch his own documents, much less demand that he do so,” Twitter’s filing read. Instead, Twitter claimed, Zatko destroyed the notebooks of his own volition. But its chair, Lina Khan, has told Congress in public testimony that if it’s determined Twitter executives were responsible for legal violations, the FTC “absolutely” would and “won’t hesitate” to hold those executives personally accountable.
