Alex Gibney’s documentary “Musk” presents a detailed portrait of Elon Musk’s rise to becoming one of the world’s richest and most powerful figures, drawing on documents and interviews with people who know him and his work. Multiple outlets describe the film as lengthy and intensely researched, aimed at tracing how Musk’s influence grows over time.

NPR reports that the project relies on a trove of records and conversations with individuals connected to Musk, producing what it characterizes as a consistently critical account of his ascent. IndieWire similarly describes the film as damning and exhaustively researched, though it notes that while the access and on-the-ground reporting may be limited in some ways, the overall result functions as a comprehensive summary of how Musk got to his current position and prominence.
