Elon Musk Complains About 'MUSK' Documentary Being Too Long, Yet Tweets Nonstop

KEY POINTS

  • Elon Musk labeled the upcoming 4-hour documentary 'MUSK' as a 'hit piece' on X, mocking its runtime.
  • The film, directed by Oscar-nominee Alex Gibney, premieres at Venice Film Festival before hitting U.S. theaters on October 16.
  • Gibney responded to Musk’s criticism with a skeptical 'How would you know?', keeping the Twitter feud alive.

This October, cinephiles get ready for 'MUSK,' a 4-hour marathon dishing out the Tesla CEO’s life under the lens of Alex Gibney, Oscar-nominated documentarian of Enron and Theranos scandals. Elon Musk fired off on X (formerly Twitter), calling it a 'hit piece' and joking if Gibney plans to bore viewers to death. 'MUSK' hits US theaters on October 16 after debuting at Venice Film Festival, clocking in at 232 minutes — just shy of one of Musk's SpaceX rocket launches. Gibney, unbothered, tossed back 'How would you know?' from his Emmy trophy shelf. Meanwhile, Musk’s daughter has publicly shaded Walter Isaacson’s bio, proving family drama is always part of the package.
