Elon Musk has slammed director Alex Gibney as a "bitter old man" with "zero integrity" after the release of Gibney's four-hour documentary about the tech mogul.
The documentary, ***** led "Musk," was billed as a "definitive and unvarnished examination" of the ***** eX boss. However, he fired back, calling it a "hit piece that misses."
Musk had already been pulled into a social media drama after his former partner, Ashley St. Clair, claimed she turned down a $40 million offer from his team in exchange for not participating in the documentary.
The outspoken billionaire launched a furious public tirade against Alex Gibney following the premiere of "Musk," an unflinching four-hour documentary examining his life, power, and global political influence at the Venice Film Festival.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the platform he acquired for $44 billion in 2022, the tech billionaire dismissed the documentary. He also attacked the director's personal and professional credibility, calling him a "bitter old man" who has "zero integrity."

Elon Musk's first wife, Justine Musk, says he declared himself the "alpha" in their marriage while they were still on the dance floor at their wedding.
Justine revisits their relationship in Alex Gibney's new documentary Musk, describing a marriage in which she says Elon repeatedly criticized her and treated her more like an employee than a partner. "I learned the term 'gaslighting' through my relationship with Elon," she said, according to PEOPLE.
She said he made her feel "insignificant" and was "constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking." Justine also recalled their first dance after marrying in 2000, when she says Elon told her, "I am the alpha in this relationship."
The nearly four-hour documentary premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 8. Elon did not participate in the film despite Gibney's efforts to interview him. Gibney told The **** ociated Press that he initially approached the project as an admirer and hoped Musk would agree to sit down with him.
Justine said the imbalance in their marriage went beyond the "alpha" comment. In the documentary, she describes Elon talking down to her and repeatedly pointing out ways he believed she fell short.

Genius, madman, salesman: Elon Musk is the subject of a nearly four-hour documentary at Venice that seeks to unmask the billionaire provocateur with outsized global influence in business, politics and even outer ****** e.
"Musk," premiering Tuesday at the Venice Film Festival, seeks to reframe the story of the world's richest man whose stated ambitions include colonising Mars, transitioning the planet to sustainable energy and protecting free speech, laying bare the "unreality of his narrative," Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney said.
"I wanted to understand what game he is playing," says director Gibney at the start of the film about the man long considered a rule-breaking genius whose erratic behaviour and shift to right-wing politics has alienated -- and confused -- many.
Gibney said Musk's story was "oddly familiar" to him, having treated other larger-than-life characters in past films, from the executives behind the Enron scandal to former Theranos boss Elizabeth Holmes.
"His story is the story of an old wine and a new bottle. His story turns out to be the story of the confidence man, the stock pumper," said Gibney, adding that much of what Musk says "has an air of unreality around it".

When a subject has been as exhaustively covered — and as infamous — as Elon Musk, the electric-car-entrepreneur-turned-rocket-man-turned-richest-billionaire-in-the-universe-turned-Twitter-disruptor-turned-DOGE-destroyer-turned-God-only-knows-what-he'll-do-next, reviews of a documentary about him tend to lead by plucking out the film's incendiary bits of investigative reportage, the ones that feel worthy of a news headline. "Musk," Alex Gibney's 3-hour-and-45-minute documentary about the tech bro who would be king, has a handful of those.
The biggest revelation, to me, was the film's detailed history of Musk's attempt to put a self-driving car on the market — a technology that's sure to be here at some point, though Musk, in his race to be first, was far too eager to announce that it had already happened. Tesla released its Autopilot driver-assist system in 2015 (and then the Full Self-Driving Beta program in 2020), marketing the new technology with ads that exaggerated the car's powers. And so people were suckered. From the outset, there were accidents. More than 60 fatalities have been linked to Tesla's driver-assistance systems. Talk about something that could put a dent in your image! But Musk, for the most part, succeeded in hushing up the lawsuits, the federal investigations, and the fatal crashes, which were evidence of a recklessness that should have given the whole world pause.
