A trailer has been released for the documentary film about Elon Musk – when is it coming out? • Межа

The investigative film about Elon Musk, created by Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney, caused a stir even before its premiere due to the discontent of the main character and his threat to sue for defamation. Two weeks ago, the project debuted at the Venice International Film Festival, at the same time rumors began to spread that Universal might refuse to distribute it in international markets. At the same time, American screenings have been officially confirmed thanks to a trailer that was recently released by local distributor Bleecker Street Media.

The trailer showcases some of the world’s richest man’s most famous moments alongside the controversies surrounding him: Tesla and the driver-assistance deaths, SpaceX, the Twitter purchase, DOGE, and Musk’s 14 (possibly more) children. Among the people who agreed to be interviewed for the film are Justin Musk’s ex-wife, tech journalists Kara Swisher and Zoe Schiffer, engineers Martin Eberhard and Jeffrey Hinton, and former MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair, who also had a child with Elon.

The billionaire himself declined to appear in the film, so the director created an AI avatar to make real-life comments on his behalf. This is likely to spark further controversy.

The premiere of the film “Musk” in US cinemas is scheduled for October 9. According to Deadline, Universal was preparing an international release schedule for the first quarter of 2027 – at the same time the film was supposed to begin broadcasting on HBO.

Musk himself previously called the film a “contract attack” and a “psychological operation,” and said of the director that “even dog shit deserves more respect.” In one of the posts, the billionaire claimed that Gibney simply compiled a list of people who “hate him or don’t know him at all.”
