'Mountainhead' Tackles the Elon Musk and Tech-Bro Epidemic
Keep in mind while watching Mountainhead that any similarities to living persons are coincidental, and probably inevitable. Premiering on HBO (Max), the black comedy by the creator and writer of Succession,Jesse Armstrong, is a timely commentary on the current state of the world, parodying the increasingly noxious influence exerted by tech billionaires in our lives. AI and social media may be perceived as a scourge or salvation — depending on your political bent or stock portfolio — but the particular personalities pushing them on society are so ubiquitous we don't even need to bother explaining the trope. Let's just say, these are the types of entrepreneurs who drive otherwise sane humans to key complete strangers' Teslas in impotent rage.
