Elon: A star is born

from The Slow Newscast

When Donald Trump declared victory in the US presidential election, he told an adoring crowd that "a star is born". He was referring to Elon Musk. After months of reporting on the billionaire's use of private investigators, Alexi Mostrous asks whether the insights he gained from that investigation reveal how Musk will operate in his new political era, and what that means for everything in his orbit. Reported and produced by: Alexi Mostrous, Gary Marshall, Matt Russell & Patricia Clarke.
