DEADLINE: Musk, a new doc by Alex Gibney (who has taken on Enron and Scientology), is said to be 225 minutes of scrutinizing Elon Musk witheringly. It profiles his lack of humanity and deep-dives his complicated relationships, including spotlighting his ex Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer who had his kid, broke up with him, refused to sign any NDA … and went liberal.
One aspect of the doc that even anti-conspiracy theorists will be forced to ponder:
“In the film’s most sensational claim, St. Clair says Musk told her he would exploit “an anomaly in the matrix” to affect the outcome of the race, citing his access to space lasers – an apparent reference to his network of Starlink satellites. Gibney lets it hang that Musk might have nefariously determined the winner of the presidency. I found this less than completely convincing, though I would love to see definitive proof.”
