What the coverage shows

Wired and The Atlantic both frame the piece around accountability and Democrats, but they diverge on who is centered. Wired keeps the focus on Alex Gibney and Elon Musk, with the extract stressing Musk’s spending, while The Atlantic instead foregrounds Trump and a separate discussion of how Democrats in Congress might investigate him and how he could respond.
