Introducing...Elon's Spies

The trailer opens with the host reflecting on how some stories that appear finished turn out to be beginnings. A colleague named Basha was investigating a serial fantasist when she discovered a detail about Elon Musk's use of private investigators. This discovery prompted the host to investigate whether Musk's use of private investigators was part of a larger pattern. The trailer contrasts Musk's public persona as a free speech absolutist and hero to many with descriptions from critics who see him as dangerous and intolerant of challenge. One voice describes him as like most sociopaths in his position who don't like being challenged. Another voice expresses difficulty talking about what Musk called them, noting it is the most disgusting thing you can call anybody, and reveals a private investigator was put on them. Snippets from other episodes include audio of someone reporting an active shooter threat involving a man named Martin Tripp at Tesla's Gigafactory. Other previewed moments include a frightening note on a door and an unexpected phone call identified as being from Elon himself. The trailer closes with a source describing Musk as the most brilliant and ambitious man they have met, while also warning he is the last person you want to fight with. The series is produced by Tortoise Media.
