Musk documentary trailer is finally here

The highly anticipated trailer for Alex Gibney's documentary about Elon Musk has finally been released. The two-minute and 24-second clip, released today, mirrors the teaser previously shared, hinting at the content viewers can expect when the film premieres in theaters next month.

Gibney, known for his controversial documentaries, introduces the trailer with a voiceover stating, "Elon Musk is one of the most controversial figures in the world. So, I decided to make him a subject of my next film." However, the filmmaker soon discovers that Musk himself has not participated in the project. Posts from Musk appear on screen, with comments directed at Gibney, calling him a "douche" and asserting that the film is a "hit piece."

The trailer delves into various aspects of Musk's life, including criticisms of his companies SpaceX and Tesla, his acquisition of Twitter, his personal life, and his foray into politics. It paints a picture that appears to be a harsh and in-depth examination of Musk. The documentary will initially screen in select theaters in New York and Los Angeles on October 9, with a nationwide release slated for October 16.
