Elon Musk furious over 'his' documentary and threatens legal action

Elon Musk has threatened legal action against the producers and distributors of a new documentary that premiered at the Venice Film Festival, labeling the film a biased attack. The documentary includes claims about Musk's alleged influence on the 2024 U.S. election, which the filmmaker defends as protected critical research.

Elon Musk has expressed intense frustration regarding a new four-hour documentary that recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Describing the project as a public hit piece, Musk directed personal insults at director Alex Gibney and challenged the film's objectivity, claiming the narrative was predetermined. The documentary features statements from an ex-girlfriend of Musk, which he alleges promote conspiracy theories regarding his potential interference in the 2024 United States presidential election through his Starlink satellite network.

In response, Musk has issued warnings of potential legal action not only against Gibney and his production company, Jigsaw, but also against distribution partners including HBO and Universal. Jigsaw Productions defended the work, citing the First Amendment's protections for critical research and public debate surrounding influential figures. The documentary is scheduled for a theatrical release in the United States on October 16, with an extended version planned for release on HBO in 2027.
