It's time to watch the Elon Musk documentary Elon Musk's Crash Course online to see the other big controversy in the tech magnate's life. Because while the headlines are filled with allegations that SpaceX paid $250,000 to a flight attendant who accused Elon Musk of sexual assault, The New York Times is taking a magnifying lens to Musk's other business: Tesla. Oh, and in other breaking news? Musk is looking for lawyers ... on Twitter.

This special is an investigative look at Musk and Tesla's work developing self-driving technology. The film, based on first-hand accounts was just announced to debut — and arrives tonight.
The film, according to a press release, paints its picture with first hand accounts of how Tesla's Autopilot technology is connected to "several deaths and dozens of other accidents that Tesla has not publicly acknowledged." Several former Tesla employees also share their stories in the film.
FX and Hulu release Elon Musk's Crash Course at an interesting moment for the Tesla CEO. All signs suggest Musk has tired of trying to buy Twitter, at least at the negotiated price, as he said the deal "cannot move forward" as it currently stands. He's blamed this on the amount of spam on the platform, and the number of fake Twitter accounts.
Elon Musk's Crash Course is produced and directed by Emma Schwartz, known for her work on Frontline documentaries. It also features contributions from New York Times reporters Cade Metz and Neal Boudette.
