Elon Musk threatens legal action over Alex Gibney documentary

Musk documentary Alex Gibney Venice Film Festival defamation lawsuit Starlink

The documentary ‘Musk’, directed by Alex Gibney, premiered at the Venice Film Festival to critical acclaim and standing ovations, but has immediately triggered a legal dispute. Elon Musk’s legal team, led by attorney Alex Spiro, has threatened defamation lawsuits against the producers at Jigsaw Productions and distributors including HBO, Bleecker Street, and Universal.

Musk’s lawyers allege the film is a “hit piece” built on predetermined conclusions rather than impartial investigation. A primary point of contention is a sequence suggesting Musk’s Starlink satellites were used to influence the 2024 U.S. presidential election—a claim the legal team describes as a debunked conspiracy theory. Because Musk declined to be interviewed, the film utilizes an AI-generated avatar to present his views.

The four-hour production explores Musk’s rise through Tesla, SpaceX, and X, while also examining his personal life, including his relationships with former partners like Ashley St. Clair and ex-wife Justine Musk. St. Clair claimed in the film that she was offered $40 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement, a claim Musk has not confirmed. The film also touches on his political influence and his views on human reproduction and artificial intelligence.
