## Summary

Katie Drummond, Wired’s global editorial director, says recent films about technology leaders are prompting closer scrutiny of their power and public images. She argues that the documentary Musk builds a detailed case about Elon Musk’s business claims and conduct, and that journalism can help hold influential figures to account.

Drummond points to interviews with Musk’s former partners and Tesla’s co-founder, as well as examination of the company’s self-driving technology, as evidence of the film’s specificity. She says Musk has substantial financial and institutional power, while censorship and suppression can make the film harder to see. The interview also touches on Nathan Fielder’s film about Elizabeth Holmes, which Drummond sees as an exploration of honesty and deception.
