Documentary Highlights Elon Musk's Personal Claims, Political Influence, and Safety Concerns
A new documentary by Alex Gibney, premiered at the Venice Film Festival, explores Elon Musk's personal life, business, and political influence. Musk's former partner, Ashley St Clair, alleges he expressed a desire for "a legion of children before the civil war" in a 2024 text message and claims Musk's team offered her $40 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which she declined. St Clair also warns that Musk's activity on X is stoking division with potential real-world consequences. The film further examines Musk's political ties and Tesla's driver-assistance safety concerns.
