Elon Musk criticizes Alex Gibney’s documentary “Musk,” which premieres at the Venice Film Festival. In his response, Musk calls the film a “hit piece” and argues that it is not presented fairly.

Musk’s criticism focuses on the documentary’s use of interviewees. He says witnesses featured in the film have personal grievances against him. According to the accounts, Musk points to individuals he describes as having issues with him, including his estranged father and Ashley St. Clair, to support his view that the documentary draws on biased testimony.

The outlets characterize Musk’s reaction as publicly confrontational, emphasizing his personal rebuttal to claims raised in the documentary. The reporting centers on Musk’s perspective and does not provide equivalent detail about the film’s specific assertions, beyond describing the length of the documentary and its festival premiere.
