New teaser trailer for Alex Gibney's Musk documentary sparks controversy

A new teaser trailer has been released for the upcoming documentary 'Musk,' directed by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney. The film, which explores the life and career of Elon Musk, features a mix of high-profile commentary, ranging from praise for his business acumen to harsh criticism describing him as 'manifestly cruel and selfish.' Musk has publicly dismissed the project as a 'hit piece,' criticizing both the director and the film's four-hour runtime. Gibney noted that the production faced challenges, as many individuals associated with Musk were reportedly afraid to speak on camera. The documentary is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival before its theatrical release in the US on October 16, with an expected debut on HBO Max later this year. The film promises to be a divisive look at one of the world's most influential and controversial tech figures.
