Elon Musk Threatens to Sue over Gibney Documentary's "Space Lasers" Claim
Elon Musk’s lawyer says the film falsely suggests Starlink influenced the 2024 presidential election and may create a defamatory implication.
- Attorney Alex Spiro threatened legal action against director Alex Gibney, alleging his new documentary falsely suggests Elon Musk used Starlink to influence the 2024 United States presidential election.
- Following its Venice Film Festival premiere on September 8, the film features texts between Musk and former partner Ashley St. Clair regarding '10,000 lasers in space' and plans to 'unleash the anomaly in the matrix.'
- Musk called Gibney a 'horrible human' on X Wednesday, disputing claims about a $40 million non-disclosure agreement and saying 'She was never offered that and has a history of making false claims.'
- Spiro's letter demands preservation of research files, alleging filmmakers 'refused to engage' with Musk's team, while a production spokesperson defended the work as protected by the First Amendment.
- Election officials and cybersecurity experts previously rejected claims that Starlink manipulated vote tabulation during 2024, though the documentary remains scheduled for theatrical release on October 16 through Bleecker Street.
