Alex Gibney's four-hour documentary '

Musk,' which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, is making headlines for multiple reasons right now. The documentary offers a glimpse into the Tesla CEO's businesses, political influence, and personal life. The film features interviews with people from Musk's inner circle, including his first wife Justine Musk, former partner Ashley St. Clair, Tesla co-founder Martin Eberhard, and others.

His first wife, Justine, revealed that he belittled her and emotionally manipulated her. On the other hand, Ashley St. Clair claimed that he once told her he wanted a 'legion of children before the civil war' and that she turned down an alleged $40 million offer tied to an NDA.

Elon Musk breaks his silence

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Elon Musk called Gibney a 'horrible human' with 'ZERO integrity.' He also accused him of relying on people who have an axe to grind against him.

Responding to one of the posts on X about the documentary, he wrote, "Dogshit is worth more respect than Gibney." In a separate tweet, he wrote, "Gibney just assembled a hit list of people who either have an axe to grind or don't even know me (but still have an axe to grind). He has ZERO integrity. Horrible human."
