from Bezos's WaPo... 'Musk' film is almost four hours long, engrossing and terrifying - "[A] stark character study of a man who may have once been a true believer in futurism and helping humanity. But who, as presented by the documentary, has become a power-hungry megalomaniacal con man with a god complex."[1]

also btw from Sulzberger's NYT... Why Did These Powerful People Kowtow to Donald Trump? [ungated]* - "Say what you like about President Trump, he has ushered in a golden age of cravenness. A nation long perceived, not least by its own nationals, as resilient and courageous — a people of gallant pioneers, fearless entrepreneurs, irresistible war heroes, nerveless astronauts, brave civil rights activists — is now forced to contemplate an entirely new set of data. It seems that, when placed under mild authoritarian pressure, an extraordinary number of powerful Americans, ostensibly honorable and right-thinking, quickly revealed themselves to be cowardly and unprincipled and made of the wrong stuff."[2,3]
