Mountainhead (2025) - yes it is a hit piece on Elon Musk

[iamwhatiseem]

We started to watch this movie, we knew nothing about it other than the trailer.
We lasted about 25-30 minutes. About 10 minutes in, beginning the movie with Musk as the furthest from my mind - I started seeing OBVIOUS parallels between Musk and "X" and the $200Billionaire that owned the movies social media platform the movie is about.
I don't give 2 shits that the filmmaker SAYS it is not about Musk - it is super and undeniably about X and Elon Musk.
It may not specifically be about Musk - but the parallels and liberal hate on Musk is clearly the foundation of the story.
And - besides that, the movie isn't good.

But of course - Rotten Tomatoes loves it while the audience ratings are pretty bad.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to give it a pass.

There is enough gaslighting and outright lies in hollywood without supporting more of it.

It's not unusual for wealthy socialist Hollywood hypocrites to promote anger directed at republican capitalists.
