Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, agreed to be interviewed immediately.

What the coverage shows

Wired and Democracy Now! both frame the coverage around Alex Gibney’s documentary Musk and its relation to Elon Musk rather than the film’s content alone. Wired’s headline is the only one to foreground the “Daddy issues” angle, and its extract uniquely mentions Errol Musk agreeing to be interviewed immediately. Democracy Now! instead splits its attention between a broad interview about the film and, in a separate item, claims that ads for it were censored online.
