3.5/4

Doc legend Alex Gibney takes four hours to give the dark prince of tech billionaires the ass-kicking he deserves. It’s so worth it.

4/5

Seemingly exhaustive as Musk may be, it could benefit from an accompanying volume on what fault in our society allowed such an obvious flim-flam artist to become so powerful.

4/5

Gibney’s gift for the documentary does record for posterity a man at midlife defined by his massive intelligence and absence of empathy, which is a cautionary combination.

Despite its ups and downs, this visual document holds up thanks to the compelling nature of its testimonies and Gibney’s journalistic acuity in portraying the dangers of unchecked power in the digital age [Full Review in Spanish]

B

Exhaustive, and to some extent exhausting,..'Musk' doesn’t offer startling new revelations, but its comprehensiveness and almost obsessive detail are justification enough for its existence.

According to Musk, "Empathy is a weakness." Before you can ask—"How could any human being say such a thing?"— see this movie. Here he is.

Disappointed by the AI usage. Still, important information. Not the best 4 hour documentary I’ve ever seen though, that still goes to Jenny Nicholson.

Totally biased Hit Job. It's easy to get the time-line more or less right but, then only search out those with an axe to grind - fired federal employees, annoyed ex's, and anti-trumpets to build a completely one-sided smear campaign. Skip it. If you're interested read the excellent biography written by Isaacson - and, skip this movie.
