Elon Musk publicly attacked director Alex Gibney and his new four-hour documentary about him, labeling Gibney a 'bitter old man' with 'zero integrity' and the film a 'hit piece that misses' and 'boring af'.
Elon Musk has launched an angry tirade against Alex Gibney, the director of a new four-hour documentary about his life, calling Gibney a 'bitter old man' and asserting he has 'zero integrity'. Gibney, whose film premiered at the Venice film festival, stated he believes Musk is 'extremely dangerous'. Musk used his platform on X to rail against the documentary, describing it as a 'hit piece that misses' and 'boring af' due to its critical nature and length. He also amplified a conspiracy theory depicting Gibney as controlled by the Democratic party and George Soros, and called the film a 'psy op'. Musk specifically denied a claim by his ex-partner, Ashley St Clair, that his team offered her $40m for an NDA. He further endorsed criticism from podcaster Katie Miller, who complained about the alleged absence of Musk's acquaintances and allies in the film. Gibney, in turn, spoke of a 'sense of fear' among those he approached for the film and speculated that Musk's difficult childhood trauma might explain his current behavior.
