Alex Gibney Documentary Examines Elon Musk's Power and Influence
· Entertainment · The Independent, Deadline
Documentarian Alex Gibney explores the scope of Elon Musk's power in his new four-hour film, 'Musk', which is premiering at the Venice Film Festival. Gibney characterises Musk as an investor rather than an inventor, suggesting his influence stems from his ability to project confidence about the future to secure investment. The film also investigates Musk's political shift toward Donald Trump, which Gibney links to the potential for federal investigations under a different administration. The documentary is scheduled for a theatrical release in October.
Why it matters
The documentary provides a critical examination of how 21st-century corporate power intersects with federal government interests and political alignments.
