Elon Musk Unveiled - The Tesla Experiment
Andreas Pichler Germany 2025 90 min.
When tech billionaire Elon Musk unveiled his plans for a self-driving car in 2014, the world responded enthusiastically. What almost no one knew was that the autopilot function was far from ready when the car was launched on the market. A shocking investigative film reveals that an unfinished product was deliberately brought onto the market, turning public spaces into a lethal testing ground.

Elon Musk Unveiled – The Tesla Experiment examines the human and political consequences of corporate choices. Through powerful testimonies from relatives of victims, former Tesla employees, whistleblowers, and investigative journalists, a portrait emerges of a company culture in which speed and market value outweighed safety concerns. Internal documents and leaked data reveal thousands of complaints about sudden braking, unintended acceleration, and fatal system failures—while Musk continues to avoid responsibility.
Director Andreas Pichler situates these events within a broader context of deregulation and political entanglement, where alliances such as that between Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump create a climate in which economic growth takes precedence at any cost.
