Elon Musk posts a lengthy, hostile message on X targeting filmmaker Alex Gibney after Gibney premieres a documentary about Musk at the Venice Film Festival. Across multiple reports, Musk characterizes Gibney as a “bitter old man” with “zero integrity,” and threatens legal action related to the documentary.

Gibney’s film has been described as a four-hour work examining Musk’s life and influence, and it includes statements in which Gibney portrays Musk as “extremely dangerous.” The sources differ mainly in emphasis: one outlet highlights the volume and intensity of Musk’s online remarks and the threat of a lawsuit, while another focuses on Musk’s personal accusations and Gibney’s prior documentary record. All accounts link the dispute to the Venice premiere and to Musk’s response posted on social media.

The reporting also aligns on the parties involved—Musk and Oscar-winning documentary director Alex Gibney—and on the central sequence: the film debuts, then Musk reacts publicly online with accusations and a stated intention to pursue legal recourse.
