This Elon Musk documentary is a chillingly forensic hatchet job

Alex Gibney, an acclaimed documentarian known for his critical examinations of powerful figures and institutions, has completed a new film focusing on Elon Musk. The announcement of Gibney's project in 2023 prompted a public response from Musk himself via his social media platform, X.

This upcoming documentary arrives at a time when Musk's influence extends across multiple high-profile companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), making him a significant and often controversial figure in technology, business, and public discourse. The film's potential to offer a critical perspective on Musk's career and impact is therefore of considerable interest, particularly given Gibney's history of producing investigative documentaries that have garnered both praise and criticism for their subjects.
