BBC on Wednesday premiered the first episode of The Elon Musk Show, a documentary centered on the life and exploits of the Tesla CEO and celebrity billionaire.
The synopsis for the episode reads:
In 1995, at the start of the Silicon Valley tech boom, Elon arrives with his younger brother Kimbal to join the gold rush and be part of the creation of the internet. They’re geeky young South Africans battling to make a fortune, but Elon is still sleeping on the floor of his office and washing at the local YMCA.
Burdened with student debt, Elon and his brother create their first company, which they go on to sell for millions. Within just four years, at the age of 28, Musk is a multi-millionaire. But on his honeymoon, things start to go wrong.
Those in the U.K. can watch the documentary over on BBC iPlayer. For those not in the U.K., you can watch the full episode below:
The documentary will have a total of three episodes, with a new one airing every Wednesday for the next two weeks. Episode two will be out on October 19, with the final episode to follow on October 26.
