Documentary “Musk” Promises an Unflattering Portrait of the Tesla CEO

The film titled “Musk,” written and directed by documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney, is slated for a theatrical release in the United States in October. According to *The Hollywood Reporter*, the two-hour documentary could portray Elon Musk as “among the most dangerous” men “on earth.” The project has encountered promotional hurdles, with major platforms such as YouTube, TikTok and Meta reportedly refusing to run ads for the film.

Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump, contributed more than $259 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign, according to the source. During the election cycle, Musk also headed the short-lived Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), granting him unprecedented access to American citizen data. The documentary is expected to reveal alleged comments Musk made to Ashley St. Clair—the mother of his child—suggesting he knew the election results “hours” before they were publicly announced.
