TRAILER: what musk reveals about us

WHAT MUSK REVEALS ABOUT US is the first season of a brand new politics and culture video podcast exploring the intersection of power and technology in the hands of dangerous men - and the resulting intellectual, political and emotional impact on us all.

Watch and listen as renowned portrait artist Ian Bruce paints an intimate triptych of a man who appears to be a cypher for the multiple existential risks faced by humanity.... and talks to some of the biggest and greatest minds of our time. 

Why Elon? Why Now? Because hot on the heels of his time in the White House, 2026 is the year that Musk has become a trillionaire, changed the way the stock market operates, continues to bankroll transatlantic far right groups and AI is at a pivotal point.

This deliciously smart and entertaining conversation series with Brian Eno, Mark Ruffalo, Rosie O’Donnell, Jon Ronson, Kumi Naidoo, Carole Cadwalladr , Yanis Varoufakis, John Cusack, Jayde Adams, Alex Winter and many, many more asks:

What can we discover about ourselves and the culture we live in when we humanise our monsters?

Can we - should we - care for this deeply damaged and dangerous man?

Have we created the pedestal upon which he and his ilk sit? If so, how do we dismantle it?

In a world of villains , where do we find our heroes?

And, finally, how do we slow down and fix things... together?
