Megalomaniac and con artist: Documentary 'dismantles' Elon Musk's image. Magnate threatens to sue the filmmaker

SAPO Tek15 September 2026 at 16:17

The documentary "Musk", directed by Alex Gibney, premiered at the Venice Film Festival with nearly four hours of runtime and received very positive reviews. The film presents a negative view of the billionaire, painting him as a megalomaniac and con artist, according to the news article's headline.

Elon Musk does not agree with the way he is portrayed in the documentary. The magnate reacted with fury on social media, expressing his indignation at the film's content.

After his reaction on social media, Musk went further and threatened to sue director Alex Gibney. This lawsuit threat arises in response to the way the documentary characterizes the businessman.

Why this matters

The documentary presents a rare critical perspective on one of the most influential figures in the technology and social media sector, whose behavior and decisions affect millions of people worldwide. The lawsuit threat raises questions about freedom of expression and the power of tech magnates to silence criticism.
