Musk Dismisses Gibney Documentary Alleging Election Ties to Starlink
Musk calls the film a hit piece as it suggests his political influence extends into data access and election-related power.
- Filmmaker Alex Gibney's documentary alleges Elon Musk showed unusual certainty about the 2024 election outcome and referenced elements related to his satellite system before results were announced, though the film does not clarify his meaning or election involvement.
- Musk has spent over $290 million supporting Donald Trump's 2024 campaign and hosted campaign events in key states, while facing criticism for attempts to incentivize voting, including offering money in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race, which did not lead to charges.

- Musk dismissed the film as a 'hit piece' and responded with laughter on social media, while Gibney highlights questions about Musk's ambitions, power, and influence in politics and technology presented in the documentary.
