Musk is an upcoming documentary film directed by Alex Gibney about businessman Elon Musk. Jigsaw Productions is producing the film alongside Closer Media, AC Independent, and Double Agent.
Synopsis
The documentary is reported to be a "definite and unvarnished examination" of businessman Elon Musk.
Production
Gibney revealed in March 2023 that he had started work on the documentary and was "many months" into the production. Joining Gibney in producing the documentary are Jessie Deeter for Jigsaw Productions, Dana O'Keefe for Double Agent, Joey Marra and Zhang Xin for Closer Media, with Anonymous Content's Nick Shumaker and Jessica Grimshaw. Elon Musk responded to the report of the documentary in production by using his Twitter account to express that it would probably be "a hit-piece". Gibney himself responded by asking "how would you know?" via his Twitter account.
Release
In May 2023, HBO Documentary Films acquired North American television and streaming rights to the film, with Black Bear International, whose joint venture with New Regency called Double Agent co-produced the film, acquiring international sales rights, planning to sell the documentary at the Marché du Film. In October 2023, Universal Pictures Content Group acquired international distribution rights from Black Bear.
