Elon Musk Attacks Filmmaker Alex Gibney, Links Him to 'Team Soros' Conspiracy Theory

Elon Musk, CEO of X, launched an angry tirade against filmmaker Alex Gibney, calling him a 'bitter old man' with 'zero integrity' after Gibney premiered a four-hour documentary critical of Musk at the Venice Film Festival. Musk described the documentary as a 'hit piece that misses' and 'boring af.' In his series of posts on X, Musk also amplified a conspiracy theory by reposting an image depicting the Democratic party controlling a 'Team Soros' puppet, which in turn controls a puppet labeled 'Alex Gibney,' and then 'Hollywood.' Musk endorsed this image as 'Accurate.' He further suggested that the documentary was a 'psy op' designed to influence public opinion. Gibney, known for his investigative documentaries, had previously stated he believed Musk was 'extremely dangerous.' Musk also denied claims made in the film, including an alleged $40 million non-disclosure agreement offer to his ex-partner.

Elon Musk Threatens Legal Action Over Documentary Alleging 2024 Election Interference

Elon Musk Threatens Legal Action Over Documentary Alleging 2024 Election Interference

Elon Musk is threatening to sue over Alex Gibney's new documentary, 'Musk,' which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, sent a letter to the production company, alleging defamation due to the film's insinuation that Musk influenced the 2024 election in President Trump's favor. The documentary, which is nearly four hours long and set to release in October, suggests that Musk used his Starlink satellites to impact the election outcome. Spiro specifically highlighted a quote from Musk's ex, Ashley St. Clair, in the film, where she mentions Musk's statement about unleashing an 'anomaly in the matrix' and having 'ten thousand lasers in space.' The lawyer argues that these statements, framed as questions in the film, amount to an unfounded accusation of a serious crime. Spiro asserts that Starlink was not connected to vote tabulation and that election officials, cybersecurity researchers, and fact-checkers publicly refuted such claims in November 2024.
