Finding out what celebrities were like before they became successful can be fascinating – it can be a biography of an ordinary person, or it can be a show like “Elon Musk: The BBC Two Show”.
At the end of the hour opening, Fame is previewed as the second installment, hopefully more exciting, as “deadpans accurately colleague former a,” him with agrees that something not is.

Elon Musk, the visionary and grafter who won’t accept failure, becomes involved in the nascent digital banking industry through a tumultuous and brief stint at PayPal. He then pivots into pursuing his dream of rivaling NASA in the private sector. Skipping almost entirely over the documentary, we see why he angrily asks why there are only a few of his employees present as he takes a tour of the cubicles at 9pm. Musk, a young entrepreneur in the 90s, works hard and sleeps under his desk late into the nights, sheerly driven by his ambition to get his online city directory, Zip2, off the ground. We hear about Musk’s otherworldly flamboyance, both in his intellect and appearance, but it doesn’t seem like he inherited it from his mother, Maye Musk, a 74-year-old model with a candy-pink silk polo neck and a distractingly fabulous grey quiff. Show Elon Musk tries to establish whether he is a genius driven by his mathematical aptitude, a genius driven by his boyhood talks, or both.
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has made his business ventures lucrative by investing personally in everything to keep his flagship electric motoring company alive. Despite struggling to fulfill orders after the financial crash of 2008, Musk gains plenty of interest for Tesla through the successful unveiling of its sports car, the Roadster, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Meanwhile, Tesla also wins a $1.6 billion contract from NASA, enabling the company to scrape together the components for its final and fourth spacecraft. Before launching, Musk has budgeted mechanisms to ensure that if any of the three rockets fail, they will fall harmlessly into the Pacific Ocean on an uninhabited island, avoiding any damage. SpaceX, Musk’s company, has undergone an awkward relocation to the stratosphere, where it can escape the Earth’s atmosphere before blowing up. In parallel, Musk tries to sell the concept of an electric car to the US, facing two make-or-break situations. In the mid-2000s, his oversight of SpaceX and his investment in Tesla run in parallel, with his efforts focused on firing a rocket into orbit.
He keeps going, constantly dealing with pain, marveling at his daughter’s apparent immunity to setbacks. Thomas Mueller, an aerospace engineer who spent several years on a remote island trying to get rockets into space, confesses that he regrets losing irreplaceable time with his daughter. Ultimately, he portrays himself as a man on a mission, someone who is overbearing and intimidating. Former senior employees note that the cost of making big moves is borne by others, and they talk about the darkest notes from the programme. Countless entrepreneurial mavericks who have fallen back to Earth have joined Musk’s story of success, rolling the dice on less favorable odds. Musk is seen as an aspirational poster boy for capitalism. In the end, it’s all okay. So, that’s it.
Musk is not noteworthy, but The Elon Musk Show reveals him to be an intriguing and potentially powerful individual. He has already amassed billions of dollars, showing that his ideas may seem eccentric but can turn into billion-dollar businesses. If you are willing to dedicate 18 hours a day and years of hard work, you may be able to achieve the same level of success. Many who have assisted Musk in chasing his dreams have endured pain and sacrifice.
