Venice premiere probes Musk’s ‘legion of children’ remark and the platform’s divisive reach

At Venice, Alex Gibney’s four-hour documentary on Elon Musk features Ashley St Clair’s claim that Musk texted he needed a “legion of children before the civil war” and recounts an alleged NDA payout that was later withdrawn; the film charts Musk’s rise, his use of X to amplify political views, and argues his platform fuels real-world division, portraying him as a “confidence man” whose wealth hinges on inflating stock.
