No one put in the newspaper that Elon is mad about Alex Gibney's Musk
Writing that "dogshit deserves more respect" and circulating pictures of Gibney with feces on his head, Musk adopted his usual statesmanlike response to the film.
Elon Musk has been upset over the release of Alex Gibney's documentary, Musk, which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival this week. The 3.5-hour film has received positive reviews, contrary to Musk's perception of it as a "hit piece" and "boring." Gibney does not shy away from portraying Musk as a con artist who has gained too much power in the tech and political industries, including his brief stint running the Trump administration's DOGE department.
Musk has responded to the film on Twitter by calling Gibney "a horrible human" and attacking St. Clair, one of the women featured in the film, for allegedly lying about being offered $40 million to sign an NDA. The documentary will be released in theaters on October 16 through Bleecker Street.
