Elon's Spies | Tortoise Investigates
Elon Musk is one of the most powerful men in the world. He’s a billionaire, the founder of SpaceX, Tesla and more. To his followers, he’s a hero; to his critics, a far-right rabble rouser.
But for someone so public, there’s one part of his life that’s less well known.
Elon’s Spies investigates how this free-speech champion uses private investigators and surveillance to target everyone from whistleblowers at his companies, to online critics and people in his own life.
