positive · AI labelView post →Just watched the first episode of the four-part documentary series "The Man Will Burn" about Burning Man. All the white people in it are insufferable. "Black Rock City is the Vatican and everywhere else is a church" oh fuck offfffffff The one black family is p cool tho.
negative · AI labelView post →I watched a documentary series on HBO about Burning Man (called The Man Will Burn - recommended). One of the people featured in the show Is Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, who got himself onto BM's Board of Directors by donating piles of money. He is as big an asshole as his bro.

negative · AI labelView post →"Burning Man’s evolution is charted in the recently released HBO docuseries The Man Will Burn." Elon Musk's brother is in the series shown contributing to the transformation of Burning Man to an elite even.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the HBOMax limited series The Man Will Burn and I’m convinced that Kimball Musk is just as nuts as his brother.
negative · AI labelView post →I just watched the documentary series “The Man Will Burn.” His brother is an arrogant a$$hole too.

positive · AI labelView post →HBO has a new documentary series called The Man Will Burn about (obviously) Burning Man and the first episode kind of fascinating to watch. Some of the burners seem like really lovely people. Others (like the CEO) seem really out of touch.
