Venice debuts Gibney’s exhaustive Musk documentary as a cautionary power ledger

Alex Gibney’s nearly four-hour Musk documentary, screened at Venice, uses an AI Musk avatar, dashcam footage and archival material to trace his rise, the Twitter takeover, and his expanding political influence, culminating in a stark warning about unchecked wealth and power—with hints of election meddling and human costs—though the film offers few new revelations. US release is planned for October.
