How It Happened

A fresh and intelligent perspective on the crumbling of the Trump Empire. Fascinating.

I’m a long term (10 years +) observer of Tesla and sustainable energy and transportation advocate. In my opinion this series about Musk and associated companies emphasises the negative aspects of events to the degree it is not balanced. I’m not saying they are factually inaccurate however they don’t acknowledge or even attempt to present positives or opposing views. Borderline hit piece.

I have loved How it Happened since it first started but this latest series is absolute rubbish. It's an Axios-sourced hatchet job on Elon Musk that I frankly expected better from Axuos. I get that he didn't respond to requests to comment but making allegations that publicising failed rocket tests on the part of Space X indicate a risky culture are completely unjustified and frankly ridiculous. As a race we learn more from failure than we do from success so this public acknowledgement of failure during testing should inspire confidence in the finished product. The same goes for Tesla and full self driving. The stats quoted were incredibly selective and it seemed that they were specifically designed to reflect poorly on Musk to support the broader narrative of this series which is not flattering toward Musk. I'm not an unabashed Musk fan but I do think that criticism of him needs to be balanced and this series is far from balanced. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Too subjective, omitting some key events and facts that must be said for a holistic and objective telling.
