Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Elon Musk Attacks Film-Maker Behind Documentary About Him
Caption: Elon Musk Attacks Film-Maker Behind Documentary About Him. Elon Musk has launched a furious attack on director Alex Gibney following the premiere of a four-hour documentary examining the billionaire's life and influence. Gibney premiered the highly critical film at the Venice Film Festival, where he described Musk as "extremely dangerous”. Musk dismissed the documentary as a "hit piece" and accused Gibney of having "zero integrity", while criticising the film's four-hour length. The billionaire also described the documentary as a "psy op" and shared a post suggesting Gibney and Hollywood were influenced by progressive political interests. Musk strongly denied a claim by his former partner Ashley St Clair that his team offered her $40 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Podcaster Katie Miller, wife of Trump adviser Stephen Miller, also criticised the documentary for allegedly excluding people close to Musk. Gibney said he encountered a "sense of fear" among people approached for the film and suggested Musk's difficult childhood in South Africa may have influenced his behaviour. The controversy comes amid wider scrutiny of Musk's political influence through X and his interventions in political debates in Europe.
