A feature-length documentary directed by Alex Gibney that probes the public persona and power of Elon Musk, billed as an "incisive look behind the legend" of the world's most heralded “inventor-entrepreneur.” The film assembles footage and testimony to examine how Musk builds influence across technology, media and public life; Musk appears in the film and a trailer is available. Distribution and promotion are handled by Bleecker Street, with a limited theatrical rollout in Los Angeles and New York starting October 9 and a nationwide release beginning October 16. The site offers ticketing links, a trailer, and an option to sign up for release reminders.
Multiple Q&A screenings accompany the launch, scheduled at venues including the Angelika Film Center, AMC Lincoln Square, AMC Burbank and AMC Century City between October 8-11. Director Alex Gibney appears at many events alongside guests such as Ashley St. Clair and journalists Zoë Schiffer, Adam Becker and Jessie Deeter; one session lists Ronan Farrow as a special guest and some showings note moderators like Matt Brennan. The page emphasizes opportunities to attend post-screening discussions, purchase tickets, and receive updates from the distributor.
