Dokumentation: Vier Stunden Musk auf der großen Leinwand – ohne Musk

Regisseur Alex Gibney seziert den Tesla-Chef in epischer Länge – mit KI-Avatar statt Interview. Was dabei vom Mythos übrig bleibt.

Dokumentation: Vier Stunden Musk auf der großen Leinwand – ohne Musk

The film "Four Hours Musk on the Big Screen – Without Musk" had security measures in place for its screening. Every cinema-goer was scanned with a metal detector and had their bags checked. A button appeared at the entrance of the cinema hall, displaying "I saw Musk" against a blue background over a silhouette of Tesla founder Elon Musk holding a chainsaw.

However, no one seemed eager to interact with the button. Two small cinema halls were filled for the premiere of the Musk documentary on that evening. It was clear that attending such a film would not be difficult in New York City, given the notorious criticism directed towards the billionaire. Despite its lengthy duration of nearly four hours, the film turned out to be a mix of journalists and superfans of director Alex Gibney who came for the 225-minute spectacle and the subsequent Q&A session with Gibney and Musk's ex-partner Ashley St. Clair.

The film's appeal might stem from the sheer narrative, rather than any content surprises, as those familiar with Musk's activities, spanning over two decades, are unlikely to find much new information.
