Elon Musk Is in the Business of Selling Dreams in Trailer for New Doc

Alex Gibney's two-part, four-hour Musk , an "incisive look" at "the wealthiest, and most unchecked, man on the planet," opens this fall

Documentarian Alex Gibney’s upcoming four-hour documentary, Musk, delves into the life of world’s richest man, Elon Musk, and his controversial beliefs and actions. The film, which will be released on October 9, has sparked a new trailer that highlights Musk’s claims of a "hit piece" and Gibney being referred to as a "douche" since 2023.

Musk has been vocal about the film, posting about "dog shit" deserving more respect and his attorney, Alex Spiro, having sent a letter to the production team claiming the allegations of Musk’s involvement in the 2024 election were misinformation. The trailer features Ashley St. Clair, the mother of some of Musk’s children, stating Musk’s intention to help Trump beat Biden and boasting about having 10,000 lasers in space.

St. Clair, who gave birth to Musk’s 13th child in 2024, has become a key figure in Musk’s backlash against the film, refusing to sign a $40 million NDA after becoming aware of Musk’s dangerous influence on the world.
