Imagine spending four hours diving deep into the life and influence of one of the world’s most controversial tech moguls. That is exactly what Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney has done with his latest project, simply titled Musk. The documentary, which recently made its debut at the Venice Film Festival, offers a rigorous and unfiltered look at the billionaire’s sprawling business empire and his polarizing public persona.
Gibney suggests that the public’s perception of Musk is finally shifting. By examining his complex track record, the film challenges the established narrative surrounding the tech giant. Audiences in the United States will be able to form their own opinions when the documentary hits theaters on October 16.
