Alex Gibney made a documentary.

It is called "Musk."

It is in some theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

It opens across the country on Friday.

Elon Musk attacked Gibney on X.

He called him an "idiot" and a "horrible human."

He also called him a "shill for the far left."

He called him a "tinfoil hat crackpot."

Musk has not seen the film.

The film's distributor is Bleecker Street.

It could not run paid ads on big platforms.

On Sept. 25, YouTube, Meta, TikTok and X all said no.

YouTube and Meta changed their minds.

They said the content was marked as "political."

Some people worry about HBO.

They ask if "Musk" will still play there.

This is after the Skydance merger.

Gibney said Musk could call Larry or David Ellison.

He could ask them to block it.

Musk's team also threatened lawsuits.

Gibney is fighting back on X.

He made a new account.

It is called @muskfilmfacts.

He said his film is about a "free-speech absolutist."

He said that person threatened a lawsuit.

The lawsuit was to stop people from seeing the film.

Gibney spent almost four years making the film.

It is almost four hours long.

It covers Musk's rise from Silicon Valley.

It covers SpaceX, Tesla and DOGE.

Musk did not do an interview.

So Gibney's team made a computer Musk.

This Musk talks to the camera.

The voice and words are Musk's own.

They come from recordings.

AI makes his mouth move.

The film shows texts between Musk and Ashley St. Clair.

They talk about "10,000 lasers in space."

Musk supporters use this to discredit the film.

But the film does not say the satellites changed the election.
