Elon Musk says he is threatening legal action against documentary director Alex Gibney over Gibney’s film about him, titled “Musk.” Musk’s attorneys send a formal letter placing Gibney on legal notice, while Musk publicly criticizes the documentary on social media, calling it inaccurate.

Both outlets report that Musk disputes the film’s factual basis and argues that it promotes a biased narrative. The Times of India says the letter accuses Gibney of pursuing an unbalanced story and points to Musk’s broader claim that the documentary is “riddled with inaccuracies.” The Hollywood Reporter likewise describes Musk’s response as a rejection of the film’s claims, with Musk characterizing it on X as a “false film.”

Contextually, the documentary debuts at the Venice Film Festival, and the Times of India adds that the film includes insights from Musk’s close friends. Across coverage, the differing emphasis is on the tone and language of Musk’s rebuttal—Times of India foregrounds his blunt “dogshit” description and the invitation to “check your facts,” while The Hollywood Reporter highlights the attorney’s statement that Musk has “no choice” but to issue formal legal notice.
