Elon Musk spent hours posting a series of aggressive messages on X regarding director Alex Gibney following the premiere of a new documentary about the tech mogul at the Venice Film Festival. Musk attacked the Oscar-winning filmmaker with harsh language, calling him a “bitter old man who lost the plot long ago” and claiming he has “zero integrity.”
Musk described the documentary as a “hit piece that misses” and labeled it “boring af [as f—]” because of its four-hour runtime. The situation escalated quickly as Musk moved into conspiracy theories. He alleged that the film is a “psy op” and posted an image suggesting that Gibney is being controlled by George Soros and the Democratic Party. In another post, Musk shared a photo of the director with a realistic poop emoji placed on his head, adding the comment, “It’s an improvement.”
