Gibney’s ‘Musk’ Premieres: A Four-Hour Critique of Power and Performance
Alex Gibney’s four-hour documentary 'Musk' opens nationwide on October 14, 2026, presenting a critical portrait of the tech mogul through interviews with associates and an AI-generated avatar. The film, which features a 10-minute intermission, examines Musk’s rise, his acquisition of Twitter, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). While the documentary highlights the human cost of DOGE’s cuts, it faces criticism for its length and perceived lack of new information. Musk has rejected the film as a 'hit piece,' and the production has faced legal threats and distribution hurdles.
