positive · AI labelView post →“Like the Titanic, Musk and Trump are headed straight for disaster—clinging to the same door of ego in a sea of hubris. And just like the movie, there’s only room for one.”

neutral · AI labelView post →I should also add that when the movie got to showing people burning Teslas and vandalizing dealerships, the theater of mostly older folks in Santa Monica started applauding. I think it is possible Trump and Musk turned libs over 50 into John Brown.
positive · AI labelView post →I should add that in addition to being much funnier than anticipated--Musk is going to be intensely humiliated by this movie, it's going to attack the deepest wounds he tries so hard to conceal--it is also bone-chilling. I think he gutted USAID with DOGE to kill masses of people in the third world.

They’re outrageously racist.” @ashleystclair.bsky.social & @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social tell Don Lemon the ‘MUSK’ doc shows Elon is very clearly racist. (H/T @marco.foster)

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m pretty sure Director Christopher Nolan doesn’t give two shits that white supremacists and Nazis like Musk and Megyn Kelly hate his brilliant film ‘The Odyssey.’ He’s laughing all the way to the bank.

Here’s the trailer for Alex Gibney’s documentary about Musk. Let’s Streisand Effect this: www.firstshowing.net/2026/must-se... 👋🎥
neutral · AI labelView post →Man, the shit I took for writing two long biographies of Musk that said what this film will say in October. U.S. media had a choice: listen to Walt Isaacson—who acted as a steno for Musk—or read someone who curated all we know of him. Guess who it chose?
neutral · AI labelView post →This is a scene from "Citizen Vigilante," the film Elon Musk posted in full on his account. The main character goes around murdering Muslims and immigrants and collectively blaming them for crime.
neutral · AI labelView post →Credit where it’s due: Elon Musk wanted the Cybertruck to have a futuristic, movie-based-on-Philip-K.-Dick-story vibe. And sure, it’s no Blade Runner. But what we’re looking at *is* a Total Recall.
neutral · AI labelView post →this is funny but disappointingly less funny than Elon Musk deciding to direct his own actual competitor movie instead would've been.

neutral · AI labelView post →You could write a history of reactionary thought that starts with Leo Strauss teaching Allan Bloom how to do esoteric readings of Plato and ends with Elon Musk failing to grasp the plain text of a 2000s CGI-heavy film trilogy for children
negative · AI labelView post →The passage of Musk, the documentary, on the self-driving Tesla is one of the best things in the film. You learn how Musk personally falsifies the capabilities of this system, with lethal results for drivers and pedestrians. And here he's back at it.
positive · AI labelView post →Musk has much more than enough money to finance his own $250m Odyssey movie, with a cast consisting solely of white South African actors of Dutch descent.

positive · AI labelView post →I somehow managed to miss the red carpet, as well as the last train home, but the premiere of MUSK was still an incredible experience. Alex Gibney has captured the Musk phenomenon for a mainstream audience in a way we haven't seen, and which makes many lonely years feel more worthwhile.
