Muskox (2026)

Musk (2026) is a documentary film directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, offering a comprehensive and unvarnished look at the life of tech billionaire Elon Musk. The film traces Musk's trajectory from his early entrepreneurial struggles to the creation of major commercial empires like Tesla and SpaceX, culminating in the controversial acquisition of Twitter. Premiering at the Venice Film Festival in September 2026 before its US theatrical release in October, the documentary utilizes decades-spanning footage, never-before-seen work records, and internal archives to construct a multidimensional portrait of the global entrepreneur.

Gibney’s approach goes beyond a standard biopic, examining the intersection of wealth, capital market influence, and expanding personal power. The production team conducted extensive interviews with Musk’s family, former partners, business rivals, and critics to provide context on his management style and public controversies. By balancing his ambitions for technological change with his personality disputes and media storms, the film aims to present a realistic view of one of the world's most watched figures.

• The film runs for an extensive 232 minutes (approximately 3 hours and 52 minutes), a length that Musk himself publicly criticized on social media, jokingly asking if the director intended to "strangle" the audience with the runtime.
• Elon Musk condemned the documentary as a "smear piece" lacking ethics, and reports indicated that his legal team threatened to take legal action against the production.
• The official TikTok account for the documentary was permanently banned by the platform in October 2026 for violating political content policies.
• The end credits feature the song "Let Me Sell You A Dream," composed by David Byrne and Daniel Pemberton, which entered the competition for Best Original Song at the 2027 Academy Awards.
