A teaser trailer for Alex Gibney’s documentary “Musk” is released ahead of the film’s premiere later today. Multiple sources report the promo includes strongly negative language about Elon Musk, following some initial remarks praising him.
According to coverage, the trailer features commentary describing Musk as “chaotic, random, capricious, manifestly cruel and selfish,” presenting a critical portrayal. TechRadar and Deadline both note the documentary’s branding and tone in the teaser, including the contrast between opening praise from some voices and subsequent criticism. Both outlets identify key subjects and companies associated with Musk, including SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink, and X.
The outlets differ mainly in how they frame the teaser’s impact and overall emphasis—TechRadar highlights that the documentary appears “more explosive,” while Deadline focuses on the damning quotes and the film’s distribution release details—while agreeing on the core content of the trailer and its critical messaging.
