Burning Man doc weaponizes Elon beef while kids paint themselves orange

An HBO documentary exists to solve the eternal mystery of whether Burning Man can stay 'authentic' while fighting gentrification—apparently by getting filmed and distributed on premium cable. The image captures the festival's core demographic: people with enough disposable income to drive to the desert, coat themselves in geometric body paint, and pose triumphantly in front of controlled fires while serious institutional voices debate the commodification of their spiritual experience. The irony is so thick it could fuel the next burn.
