Ashley St. Clair and Alex Gibney on AI and the dangers of Elon Musk

On Tuesday, filmmaker Alex Gibney premiered his documentary about Elon Musk at the Venice Film Festival, using an Artificial Intelligence avatar to simulate an interview that contrasts Musk's narrative with the "reality of what he" has done.
Spanning nearly four hours, the documentary tracks Musk's life from Silicon Valley beginnings through his involvement with Donald Trump and the DOGE initiative, expanding significantly after Musk became involved in Trump's campaign.
Ashley, who shares a child with Musk, appears in the film discussing their relationship and believes Musk is "causing deliberate division that could be catastrophic if it" is not regulated; she was offered $40 million not to speak.
Wired reporter Zoë Schiffer and Gibney allege Musk manipulated Twitter algorithms to suppress mainstream journalism while amplifying inflammatory voices, with Gibney arguing Musk is "extremely" dangerous to democracy.
Scheduled for October, the film raises alarms about information gathered on Americans through the DOGE initiative and features interviews with Martin Eberhard, Justine Musk, Sam Harris, Kara Swisher, and USAID Administrator Samantha Power.
