Alex Gibney releases the first teaser for his upcoming documentary film, Musk, offering an extended look at tech billionaire Elon Musk. The teaser comes ahead of the film’s premiere at the 2026 Venice Film Festival and follows Gibney’s earlier documentary work released in 2026.
The documentary is described as a nearly four-hour, investigative portrait presented in two parts with an intermission. Sources say it traces Musk’s rise and the evolution of his public influence across major companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter/X, and addresses controversies connected to his career and legacy. FirstShowing.net frames the film as an attempt to examine “behind the legend,” while ComingSoon.net emphasizes an “unvarnished” and investigative approach. Both accounts characterize the project as comprehensive and built from sustained reporting, positioning it as journalistic rather than purely biographical.
After the Venice premiere, the film is described as moving toward a later theatrical release. The outlets’ differing angles largely focus on tone—“unmasked” versus “unvarnished”—rather than on differing core facts about the film’s length, structure, and festival debut.
