hypebeast.com

A new documentary titled "Tesla Files" is in production and will be shown at the CPH:DOX international documentary festival in Copenhagen. The film is directed by Andreas Pichler and produced by the Beetz Brothers. It aims to explore the inner workings of Tesla and Elon Musk. The documentary is based on leaked internal data from a former Tesla employee, Lukasz Krupski, who worked in Norway. Krupski was fired in 2022 after claiming that Tesla's self-driving technology was unsafe for public roads. He has stated that he faced harassment and threats after raising safety concerns at work. In 2023, he shared confidential Tesla data with a German newspaper, including personal information of employees and accident reports. "Tesla Files" seeks to help viewers understand Musk's decisions and his political ambitions. The film aims to reveal how Musk pushes technological solutions at the cost of truth and human lives. Testimonies from former employees and whistleblowers will be featured. The producer, Anne Von Petersdorff, noted that Tesla is currently under investigation in Europe and the U.S. The timing of Musk's political rise raises questions about his accountability. The documentary will tell three main stories: Musk's control over Tesla, personal tragedies linked to Tesla's autopilot technology, and investigations into the company's practices. It plans to highlight issues such as cover-ups and the relationship between Musk's business and political influence. The documentary is currently halfway through its production.
