Carl Icahn HBO documentary thoughts?

Did anybody see that new documentary about Carl Icahn. I thought it was pretty inspiring and motivating to see his dedication and willingness to challenge executives. It’s also nice to highlight the classic fundamental truth of “buying undervalued companies.”

Bumping as I just watched last night. Thought it was extremely well done and would highly recommend to anyone on this forum.

IMO they did a really good job at showing him from different angles (obviously was pro-Icahn but still provided some criticisms). His personality really came through and I feel like each company they highlighted gave a fuller picture of who he is and what he did.

Curious what others thought.

"Dedication and willingness to challenge executive" - brother, he's just trying to make money, not charitably help CEOs with character development lol.

 

For a much more intimate look - read Michael Dell's book, when Dell describes his fight against Carl. Carl does not come off well at all from that snuffle - in terms of his character. That said, Carl is also a billionaire and you don't get to that level by unless you also have characteristics that enable you to rise that far.
