Coming soon to a theater near you...

I'm sure Musk will deal with this with the grace and dignity we've come to expect.

Steven Zeitchik writing for the Hollywood Reporter:

Over the course of a decorated career, Gibney, 72, had taken on Scientology and Enron, the U.S. military and Vladimir Putin, the Catholic Church and Wall Street. All of that prepared him, though nothing could really prepare him, for this magnum Musk creation — cinema’s premier curtain-puller on power revealing the man who has amassed so much of it. When it comes out this fall, Musk will look to change the game in several crucial ways, lining up a target that Hollywood never shoots at, seeking to become a hit documentary in an era allergic to them, and trying to open the eyes of American voters to a key Republican electoral arms dealer who Gibney says is mounting an unfair fight. At stake with Musk, its creator wants to tell us, is nothing less than the future of democracy. And to spread that message, he has enlisted some of the biggest media companies around — including, improbably enough, the one soon to be owned by Trump ally David Ellison.... So much Musk have we ambiently ingested these past few years that perhaps the best cultural gift might be a break from all that, an Elon-free zone populated with anyone besides the 55-year-old provocateur. Yet Gibney aggressively wants to challenge that instinct, and he may have a point. None of what we have seen and thought about Musk can fully ready us for what the filmmaker has done here — an adventurous but methodical movie grounded in the thesis that, as he sees it, a dangerous huckster is stealthily aggregating power to exploit us, primarily by centralizing and controlling massive amounts of data. Gibney’s basic take on Musk is that he’s a confidence man whose power comes only from the stock market and disappears the minute we see through the facade of sales pitches — but can do a whole lot of damage until that happens. The film world-premieres Sept. 8 at Venice. But its cultural reach will likely extend far beyond that. Musk stands poised to touch off a fresh wave of anger and fear among the millions already inclined to worry about him, into and well after the midterms, while fueling a whole lot of trollishness (and worse?) from the many who worship at the temple of Elon Musk, including Elon Musk. Gibney has crafted a movie that, while not new in its specifics, is often damning in its totality, standing apart from anything the media entertainment complex has recently turned out — a portrait of power with the cinematic scope of All the King’s Men and the potential social impact of The Pentagon Papers. (“It’s rare these days to see a complete story instead of the fragments we’re used to,” says Anonymous Content’s Nick Shumaker, a producer on the film.) Some will surely find Musk overly negative and conspiratorial. Yet nearly every time the film seems like it might tip into paranoid fantasy, Gibney unearths a new fact or asks a new commonsense question to steady us back.

Too much to summarize but I do have to share this one anecdote:

The insinuations of business hucksterism are one thing that could provoke him, more intimate details are another. Musk’s personal life comes in for tough scrutiny in the film, ... with a revealing childhood story Musk’s father tells in which a family friend undergoes a medical emergency while they were all on a road trip in Musk’s native South Africa. The man dies as everyone tries to resuscitate him. Young Elon, his father recounts, reads a comic book, unreactive through the entire episode.
