Alex Gibney has made films about Enron, Scientology, torture, WikiLeaks, and Theranos. Now Musk. The man's filmography is a list of things that were fine until someone looked. His next subject will be the audience.

Alex Gibney's Musk documentary premiered in Venice at nearly four hours. Four hours. The man's already bought a social network, a government, and a trillion dollars. Now he's taken a whole afternoon.

Apple's $2,000 folding phone, a $130 million witch movie, a 38-date Oasis tour with a waitlist, and a $5,000 vote bonus. Everything this month is on a payment plan except the war, and that's on your grandkids' plan.

There's a Sam Altman biopic and a four-hour Musk documentary in the same month. Hollywood ran out of villains it could name and started with the ones who could sue.

The Venice Film Festival premiered a Musk documentary and an Altman biopic in the same week. The most glamorous film festival on earth spent it on two men who think movies are a waste of compute.

The four-hour Musk documentary opens October 16, the same day as iPhone preorders. That's not a release date. That's a hostage exchange with concessions.
