Musk Dismisses Gibney Documentary Alleging Election Ties to Starlink
Musk calls Alex Gibney’s film a hit piece as it heads to Venice, where the 232-minute documentary will preview before an October theatrical release.
- Ahead of the Venice International Film Festival premiere on September 8, director Alex Gibney's documentary 'Musk' drew renewed attention as the billionaire dismissed recent coverage on X with dismissive remarks including 'Lmao.'
- The 232-minute film reframes the billionaire as a '21st century reincarnation of the confidence man,' investigating his influence through the Department of Government Efficiency. The documentary alleges personnel held 'super admin' access to federal IT systems.
- Text exchanges in the film show Musk allegedly claiming he had 'ten thousand lasers in space' and mentioning an 'anomaly in the matrix.' The film acknowledges no proof he accessed sensitive information.
- Political spending remains a focus as the documentary examines Musk's role in the 2024 election and his estimated $291 million in contributions. Musk continues rebuting claims on social media.
- With an October 16 U.S. theatrical release, the documentary faces anticipation over its Oscar-eligible original song 'Let Me Sell You a Dream.' Gibney positions the film as a 'definitive and unvarnished examination' of power.
