Alex Gibney's Documentary Examines Elon Musk's Rise and Influence Amid Legal Dispute
Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney's nearly four-hour documentary "Musk" explores Elon Musk's rise from Silicon Valley entrepreneur to influential tech billionaire and political figure. Premiered at Venice and Toronto film festivals, the film examines Musk's leadership of Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter (now X), his political involvement including ties to Donald Trump, and the broader influence of tech oligarchs. Despite legal threats from Musk's team alleging misrepresentation, Gibney maintains the film's accuracy and notes Musk declined to participate in interviews.
