Documentary on Elon Musk Premieres at Venice Film Festival

A new documentary film titled "Musk", focusing on Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has officially released its debut trailer. The film, directed by Alex Gibney, is scheduled to premiere at the Venice International Film Festival this week. The 48-second teaser is now available.

The trailer intersperses footage of SpaceX rocket launches with commentary on Musk, with some voices calling him "the greatest capitalist in history" and others labeling him a "fascist." The film promises an "unflinching examination of the most unregulated man on Earth."

Musk himself has publicly criticized the documentary, calling it "malicious" and questioning its nearly four-hour runtime as "boring." Director Gibney has responded by questioning how Musk could know its content before its premiere.

Alex Gibney is an American documentary filmmaker known for his works such as "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" and "Taxi to the Dark Side." He previously directed a documentary about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
