“With inexorable journalistic rigor, Niedermeyer’s exploration of Elon Musk’s fraudulent and immoral promotion of Tesla’s “full-self-driving” con illuminates a system of corporate gaslighting even as he tells a truth that we need to hear."
—Alex Gibney, Academy Award–winning director of Musk

“Ed Niedermeyer was trying to wake people up to the true story of Tesla long before many wanted to hear it. In Elon Take the Wheel, he pulls back the curtain on Elon Musk’s efforts to hype up the company’s self-driving technology and the many lives it took in the process. It’s a shocking tale of what happens when corporate profit is prioritized over public safety—and how such an irresponsible choice helped make Musk the world’s richest man.”
—Paris Marx, host of the Tech Won’t Save Us podcast

“For years, Ed Niedermeyer has been one of the most dogged critics of Musk. In this riveting, well-reported exposé of the mess that is Tesla, Niedermeyer brings the receipts for why Musk is not only an incompetent fraud but also highly dangerous. I hope that this great book breaks through to a media and political establishment that tends to give Musk a pass at every reckless turn.”
—Alex Winter, actor, director, and activist
