The 3-hour and 45-minute documentary film titled "Musk," which delves into the life of the world's richest man and eccentric entrepreneur Elon Musk, has been released.
Musk himself unleashed harsh criticism against the documentary film, which covers various controversies surrounding him.
The documentary "Musk" premiered on the 8th at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival held on the Lido of Venice, Italy.
The documentary covers everything from Musk's childhood trauma and private life with women to allegations of X algorithm manipulation and ties to far-right political forces.
In particular, Ashley St. Clair, Musk's ex-partner and a MAGA influencer, appeared and shared that she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement to receive about 53.9 billion won (approx. $38.7 million) in child support on the condition that she would not speak about it.
Director Alex Gibney, who helmed the project, described Musk as an "extremely dangerous figure."
He added that the production process was not easy, stating, "Even his friends, colleagues, and critics had a tremendous amount of fear about opening up."
He also explained, "I spoke with numerous people, but aside from a few brave ones, everyone refused to answer."
While the director included interviews with Musk's father Errol Musk and his first wife Justine Musk, he was unable to include direct explanations or responses from Elon Musk.
In response, Musk showed a fierce reaction.
Through social media, Musk lashed out, saying, "His movie is incredibly boring. It just gathered people who hold a grudge against me, and he has long been a twisted old man who has lost all context."
He also raised a conspiracy theory that the film was created under the direction of the Democratic Party and progressive billionaire George Soros.
