Elon Musk recently used his platform, X, to launch a series of critical posts regarding a new documentary about his life and business influence. The film, directed by Alex Gibney, premiered at the Venice Film Festival and spans four hours. In his posts, Musk referred to Gibney as a “bitter old man” and claimed the director lacks integrity, describing the documentary as a “hit piece that misses.”

Gibney, an Academy Award-winning filmmaker known for previous documentaries on subjects such as Enron and Vladimir Putin, has been vocal about his perspective on the tech mogul. During the promotion of the film, Gibney stated that he views Musk as an “extremely dangerous” individual. The documentary aims to examine the impact of Musk’s influence, though Musk’s public response suggests he views the project as a biased attempt to discredit his work and character. The exchange highlights the ongoing tension between Musk and media figures who produce critical examinations of his professional and personal conduct.
