Gibney’s Unflinching Look at Musk | Durham News

Alex Gibney’s explosive four-hour documentary “Musk” dropped at Venice and is already sparking firestorms—painting Elon Musk as a master manipulator of tech, politics, and public perception. Using an avatar to mask Musk’s face, Gibney exposes how X’s algorithms were weaponized to amplify hate and silence journalism, while also revealing claims that Musk offered $40 million to silence critics and sued a woman for AI-generated deepfakes. The film expands dramatically after Musk’s ties to Trump’s second administration and global right-wing movements, featuring powerful voices like Martin Eberhard, Justine Musk, Sam Harris, and Kara Swisher—all pointing to a man whose influence reshapes reality, often with devastating consequences.
