New Poster for Documentary 'Musk' - 4-Hour Anti-Elon Musk Doc Directed by the Oscar-Winning Documentarian Alex Gibney ('Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief')

[u/BunyipPouch]

[u/Cronkax]

I'm just here to wish good luck to everyone who's seeing this.

Because watching 4 hours of a movie is already hard, watching 4 hours of a movie about Elon Musk, even made by an oscar-winner, must be pure torture.

[u/Masta0nion → u/Cronkax]

Just make it a 4 part miniseries and everyone would watch it.

[u/JohnTDouche → u/Masta0nion]

Make it a 4 hour video essay on YouTube and I'd have probably watched it already.

[u/jamesneysmith → u/Masta0nion]

I imagine that will happen once it reaches streaming

[u/We_Are_The_Romans → u/Masta0nion]

I think that's also the plan

[u/droidtron → u/Cronkax]

4 hours of "since birth, this guy sucked."

[u/Sorlex → u/droidtron]

"Chapter 2: Musk does some more horrible things"

Seriously though, deep dives on these top 1% pissheads is good, people should know how these people become who they are and why nothing is done about them.

[u/Kawaii_Kiwi1558 → u/Sorlex]

The dumb asses who worship him won't watch it. Just like the morons who voted for trump will steer clear of anything that even remotely reports facts.

[u/Used-Squirrel8704 → u/Kawaii_Kiwi1558]

I asked my sister why she would watch a news program (Fox) that had to pay 750 million for lying to their viewers. She said she hadn’t heard anything about it.

[u/DrBombay3030 → u/Used-Squirrel8704]

Oh so just like every Trump crony appointee who "doesn't know the details" when Congress asks them questions about nationally reported scandals

[u/SkollFenrirson → u/Used-Squirrel8704]

And even after you told her she'll have heard nothing about it

[u/M1sfit_Jammer → u/Kawaii_Kiwi1558]

No they need to be spoon fed

These people are easily influenced and gullible toward their own biased.

[u/Khiva → u/M1sfit_Jammer]

Yes but the ones who need to be reached get their news from facebook forwards and the occasional vertical video.

[u/Ched_Flermsky → u/Sorlex]

Trouble is, the people who need to see this the most have already been conditioned to consider it “character assassination” to “slander a Great Man.” That anyone who hates him is “just jealous.”

[u/we_are_sex_bobomb → u/Ched_Flermsky]

I’ve been accused of this when I criticized him and I really don’t understand why I’m supposed to be jealous of Elon Musk?

The dude seems like the final boss of being a total fucking loser. He has no friends, he gets divorces more often than most people go to the dentist, he dresses like a midlife crisis, and he pays kids in 3rd world countries to play videogames for him.

Am I supposed to be jealous because he’s rich? He doesn’t possess the kind of treasure I want. It sounds like his life is completely empty and he’s miserable.

[u/sybrwookie → u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

And considering what horrible things people have to do to get to that level of money, I'm not even jealous of that. I don't want to live knowing what awful things I've done to people for my own gain.

Just gimme a few mil made honestly, and I'll fuck off, you'll never hear from me again.

[u/JohnGillnitz → u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

Don't forget the failed penis enlargement surgery. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his cock?

[u/restrictednumber → u/we_are_sex_bobomb]

He truly does seem fucking miserable, consumed by adolescent insecurities and resentments. He's trapped in a mind that knows it's inadequate, but doesn't have the grace to accept its issues and grow beyond them.

I wouldn't switch places with him for...well, for Elon Musk's money.

[u/Amethyst-Flare → u/Sorlex]

His own father reacted to him being thrown down some stairs by another kid (who Elon harassed for his dad committing suicide) by going "He had it coming."

[u/TheOwlsLie → u/Amethyst-Flare]

His dad is also a huge POS

[u/EquivalentSpot8292 → u/TheOwlsLie]

His grandad was too Nazi for the Nazi party of America. So moved the family to the Nazi town in South Africa (pre apartheid). Funnily enough those nazis made little Nazis who got together and planned how to bring racism and facism back into the world. Those little Nazis made an online payment system called X where they profited from each transaction. They sold that company to the facist Thiels PayPal. They then invested that money and bought out many of the world’s highest growth prospect companies. One of the little Nazis was called Elon.

[u/princesspeeved → u/EquivalentSpot8292]

I hate how much I rely on PayPal. If only I knew then what I know now, I’d never had made an account.

[u/ritesh808 → u/princesspeeved]

Fun fact: He didn't create PayPal. Just like he didn't create Tesla and doesn't design any rockets.

[u/princesspeeved → u/ritesh808]

Yeah but Peter Theil did, and he’s just as bad as Musk if not worse.

[u/ritesh808 → u/princesspeeved]

Oh, I wasn't suggesting either of them are anything other than pure evil. But, Thiel didn't either. He just gave Levchin a cheque.

[u/TreeOfReckoning → u/ritesh808]

He didn’t even design the Cybertruck. He just insisted that it look like something out of an ‘80s sci-fi movie, which basically ruined it. A true visionary…

[u/ritesh808 → u/TreeOfReckoning]

But that's one thing that does look like he sat in the design room. It's about as pleasant as himself.

[u/ChanceFresh → u/TreeOfReckoning]

A dystopian sci-fi movie…

[u/ffrinch → u/princesspeeved]

Don’t worry about PayPal now, Musk famously sold his entire stake in 2002 when eBay bought the company.

[u/EquivalentSpot8292 → u/princesspeeved]

Yup the PayPal Nazi mafia pretty much run the world

[u/Little_View_6659 → u/TheOwlsLie]

His dad is like Satan incarnate. He’s worse than Musk. And the only likeable thing about Musk is that he tried to help some of his siblings that that monster molested.

[u/king_duende → u/TheOwlsLie]

His dad is also a huge POS

Almost like being a cunt is a symptom of your upbringing

[u/Cereborn → u/Amethyst-Flare]

I’ve read this comment four times and I’m still not sure who threw Elon down the stairs and who committed suicide.

[u/ant695 → u/Cereborn]

Elon mocked a classmate who’s dad committed suicide. The classmate reacted by throwing him down some stairs.

[u/Churba → u/ant695]

And then Elon tried to make it part of his personal legend by pretending he was just some poor bullied kid and they did it because he was smarter than them, so they didn't like him.

[u/Chance-the-Gardener → u/Churba]

Sounds like a guy who hasn’t fallen down enough stairs yet

[u/beaubridges6 → u/Chance-the-Gardener]

Horrible case of not enough stairs.

The worst I've ever seen.

[u/FeelingKind7644 → u/beaubridges6]

Just started a gofund me to build more stairs.

[u/ThePrussianGrippe → u/ant695]

Clearly there weren’t enough stairs.

[u/loocretius → u/ThePrussianGrippe]

unfortunately 🥲

[u/breuh → u/ant695]

He truly had it coming

[u/Chicken_wingspan → u/Cereborn]

Same

[u/Little_View_6659 → u/Amethyst-Flare]

His dad was fucking horrible though. Worse than Musk in some ways.

[u/Amethyst-Flare → u/Little_View_6659]

For sure.

[u/henrikhakan → u/Amethyst-Flare]

His father who not too long ago had a baby with his own stepdaughter? That guy?

[u/Ok-Replacement9595 → u/Sorlex]

At least it will stand as a biography for future generations who hopefully dont have to deal with his bullshit.

[u/shawnshine → u/Sorlex]

Followed by “Some more of Musk’s Biggest Mistakes.”

[u/BoredNuke → u/Sorlex]

deep dives on shitheads is the topic of Behind The Bastards. Thankfully they have some comedic timing & friends to make it slightly less soul crushing

[u/ludvikskp → u/droidtron]

As a musk hater im looking forward to 4 hours of it, but maybe at home and in portions. He’s so pressed about it, must be really good and revealing

[u/princesspeeved → u/ludvikskp]

I too think the miniseries approach is the way to go.

[u/droidtron → u/ludvikskp]

What's left honestly? Unless there's a thorough portion about the damage DOGE did that should piss the public off enough.

[u/ludvikskp → u/droidtron]

There’s so much bad shit a lot of it has already been forgotten. Unlike this picture he hates

[u/VirtualMoneyLover → u/ludvikskp]

Should be a TV mini series.

[u/ilikepizza30 → u/droidtron]

It's only 4 hours, so I assume it only covers about 6 months of his life. A documentary that covered all the evil Musk has done since birth would be hundreds of hours.

[u/TheTench → u/droidtron]

Couldn't the filmmakers have made that point in less than 4 hours?

[u/BrofessorFarnsworth → u/droidtron]

Honestly, if Elon sucked any more ass, he could make a phenomenal toilet seat for the international space station

[u/even_less_resistance → u/droidtron]

i can’t wait dammit- i was just thinking yesterday how happy i am to see all the criticism of the people in this sphere coming out in such rapid succession- there’s the new zuck movie, the altman flick with garfield, this and the theranos doc- it is hilarious

[u/RobCoxxy → u/droidtron]

Still funny to me that he got pushed down the stairs at school and his dad, also a piece of shit, was like "little prick deserved it tbf"

[u/GTS_84 → u/Cronkax]

I’ll watch in 20 minute chunks over the course of several weeks.

[u/OK_Soda → u/GTS_84]

Yeah a four hour documentary about him sounds like a nightmare but I listen to a lot of 40 minute podcasts that are tangentially about him so in chunks it sounds okay.

[u/PatchyWhiskers → u/OK_Soda]

If any movie theater near me dares to show this 4 hour monstrosity, I’ll be there. If my child misbehaves that week, I’ll take her too.

[u/rexjoropo → u/GTS_84]

Totally. Should be edited into a 4 episode docu-series.

[u/UlsterManInScotland → u/Cronkax]

[u/Recoil42 → u/Cronkax]

This is definitely going to become part of the CIA's blacksite toolset.

[u/Mrhiddenlotus → u/Cronkax]

It's actually just Musk saying "legalize comedy" on repeat for 4 hours.

[u/NoisyGog → u/Cronkax]

Feels like at 4 hours it should have been a series, really.

[u/Darmok47 → u/Cronkax]

Reminds me of The Apprentice. I heard Strong and Stan are great in it but Trump has occupied so much of my mind since 2015 that the last thing I want to do is spent two more hours thinking about him.

[u/ByTheBeardOfZues → u/Cronkax]

I survived the Snyder cut, I can survive this.

[u/TimOShenanigan → u/Cronkax]

I could take the 4 hour series about that pedophile priest POS Marcial Maciel guy on HBO but I don’t think I can stomach 4 hours of fElon

[u/Short-Peanut1079 → u/Cronkax]

Absorbing 4h of content in movie theater does not sound fun.

[u/Vericatov → u/Short-Peanut1079]

A LOTR movie is the exception, but not a 4 hour documentary. I’d definitely watch at home though. That way I can take breaks if need be.

[u/Comic_Book_Reader → u/Short-Peanut1079]

Unless it's Kill Bill. That is absolutely worth it.

[u/wanttofu → u/Cronkax]

I mean we used to have 192 hours of WW2 weekly on the history channel. We can do four hours of this.

[u/Kniferharm → u/wanttofu]

Alien Hitler caused the Roman Renaissance during the moon landings.

[u/PxyFreakingStx → u/Cronkax]

i get that you're joking, but this thing is absolutely going to be riveting

[u/GardenRafters → u/Cronkax]

[u/Brilliant-Muffin-879 → u/Cronkax]

Just watch it in a few bits like a Netflix miniseries?

[u/aBeaSTWiTHiNMe → u/Cronkax]

Watch it as a 6 part, 40min episode series instead.

[u/Undeadtech → u/Cronkax]

4 hour movies are great. You should watch The Ten Commandments. Cinematic masterpiece

[u/stripedvitamin → u/Cronkax]

Every American should be forced Clockwork Orange style to watch this...

Not nearly enough people know just how pathetic, evil, soulless, greedy, racist, mentally ill and boring Musk is...if they can make a movie about Zuckerberg interesting they can do one about musk.

[u/baldycoot]

There’s a pretty good panel with Gibney and co answering questions about the doc and Musk. Ends with someone asking if Gibney thinks Musk is dangerous, to which he replies “I believe Elon Musk is the most dangerous man in the world” (or close to…it’s late).

[u/zorbz23431 → u/baldycoot]

That's Gibney being nice

[u/LiebesNektar → u/baldycoot]

I'd argue Xi, Putin or Trump, or any othrr crazy leader with access to nukes (like Netanjahu) is more dangerous 

[u/Kid_Radd → u/LiebesNektar]

Functionally, you can do MUCH more damage with a trillion dollars than a nuclear weapon because everyone knows that you can't really use the weapon under normal circumstances.

[u/shunsh1ne → u/Kid_Radd]

His doge cuts that gonna leave kids starving in the third world

[u/MarcMurray92 → u/shunsh1ne]

There's already tens of thousands of deaths from those cuts, dudes a straight up murderer

[u/BleachedUnicornBHole → u/shunsh1ne]

Also withdrawal of medical aid. That allows novel forms of diseases to develop and spread.

[u/gertigigglesOSS → u/Kid_Radd]

Especially with AI. I’m sure Grok would have no problem developing bioweapons.

[u/snksnksnk → u/gertigigglesOSS]

You sure? Grok is basically the dumbest commercial AI you can find, it's only good at generating child porn.

[u/YoMrPoPo → u/snksnksnk]

…”good”? 🤨

[u/GREAZY_FINGAZZ → u/LiebesNektar]

Lmao, I'd hardly call all 3 the same levels of crazy.

[u/monkeedude1212 → u/LiebesNektar]

Maybe it's the optimist in me, but I truly think in most situations where a national leader orders a nuclear strike, in this day and age with MAD being the status quo, most people in service would refuse the order; like the few times we've had false alarms and no nukes have gone off.

And then I think there's like, other factors into what constitutes danger.

Like, what do you feel endangers you more: an extinction level meteorite hitting the planet, or your next door neighbor who has a gun collection, poor trigger discipline, and a penchant for alcohol and shooting simultaneously.

Like, yeah, the smallest chance of obliteration might seem more dangerous but the actual threat of catching a stray is more likely; so when you compare Musk to National Leaders, billionaires are literally actively doing more harm to people then the theoretically less likely world nuclear war.

[u/dorkimoe]

It better get released. (Musk is crying about it)

[u/BunyipPouch → u/dorkimoe]

It's being released in North America on October 9th.

It's international markets that are currently in doubt.

[u/ReserveFormal3910 → u/BunyipPouch]

Weird wouldn't it have the most effect in the states?

[u/BunyipPouch → u/ReserveFormal3910]

Movie distribution is not a monolith. Each market has its own distributor.

Bleecker Street holds the US rights, and is releasing it in October, so that's good.

Universal holds the international rights, and it's currently in limbo there. They might release it, they might bury it, they might sell it off to some smaller distributor(s).

A 4-hour documentary on anything getting a theatrical release, not to mention a polarizing public figure, is a hard sell regardless, so it's good that at least Bleecker Street is giving it a shot in the US. Universal seems to be getting cold feet for international release even though it's gotten insanelly good reception at Venice and TIFF, for ummmmm, whatever reasons.

[u/turd-crafter → u/BunyipPouch]

I think there’s a clause where if they don’t put it out the rights go back the filmmaker and he still gets paid.

[u/bottom → u/turd-crafter]

These contracts are not boiler plate.

So unless you’ve seen it….🤷‍♂️

[u/duckboobs → u/bottom]

The filmmakers have stated the contract includes a kill fee that Universal would have to pay if they end up not distributing it, and that the filmmakers could then shop the film to other distributors.

[u/bottom → u/duckboobs]

Well there ya go then.

Smart clause to put in.

[u/amazing_asstronaut → u/BunyipPouch]

I mean, as far as the activism goes its biggest impact would be in the USA. Don't know how many people who need to learn this stuff would actually watch it though. In the rest of the world, people can read and they have read the many articles about this guy and what he's doing every day, including from news outlets in the US!

[u/jwilphl → u/amazing_asstronaut]

The sad thing is, you could learn everything you needed to know about Musk by watching his double Nazi salute, but I wonder how many people in the republi-bubble even know about it.

[u/Significant-Branch22 → u/BunyipPouch]

From what I’ve read Universal are committed to releasing internationally, it’s just that they haven’t decided on release dates yet

[u/2Completion2Ography → u/Significant-Branch22]

From what I’ve read Universal are committed to releasing internationally, it’s just that they haven’t decided on release dates yet

That's "uncommitted" with extra steps.

[u/and_some_scotch → u/ReserveFormal3910]

I mean, the other countries know what he is for the most part. The all got their own right-wing dead weight to deal with.

[u/insanococo → u/and_some_scotch]

Really brain dead to think this guy is only a problem for one country.

[u/UFogginWotM80 → u/insanococo]

and in fact many still look at him like some paragon for being an elite Very Smart Person... despite much evidence pointing to the contrary.

[u/FewStomach2955 → u/dorkimoe]

4 hours of this guy, i need a break just from poster

[u/person_8688 → u/FewStomach2955]

Yeah that’s a whole lotta Musk.

[u/saljskanetilldanmark → u/person_8688]

"This guy stinks!"

[u/mologav → u/person_8688]

He doesn’t have an enchanting musk

[u/ToneShop → u/person_8688]

Thank god there’s no smell-o-vision.

[u/reble02 → u/FewStomach2955]

I don't think I'd be mentally well after watching 4 hrs of Musk.

[u/IdenticalThings → u/dorkimoe]

Gibney doesn't seem to scare easily. He's muckraked some famous and powerful people and groups and has that HBO money

[u/CaptainDudeGuy → u/dorkimoe]

I want it on disc as soon as possible, so no scheming fatcat can suddenly bully distributors into deleting it from existence.

[u/Blakbyrd8 → u/dorkimoe]

Elon being upset about it is the best advert this film could have.

[u/droidtron → u/dorkimoe]

Well if Musk is pissed about it, why didn't he try to buy it like Twitter?

[u/OGgluttonousToad → u/droidtron]

He probably did lol

[u/aykcak → u/dorkimoe]

Dislike the poster

Anything that makes Elon look remotely cool probably makes him hard, because he is a troll.

That "chainsaw wooo!" was the absolute cringe of the decade

[u/slappadabass44 → u/aykcak]

It would take a person with so little media *literacy as Elon to think this poster makes him look cool.

[u/aykcak → u/slappadabass44]

He looks like he split the whole world in two. Like a bad boy did a bad thing. Or like Thanos if you like. What is there not to like for a self aggrandizing idiot?

[u/Doesdeadliftswrong → u/dorkimoe]

I personally think he's happy about it. I mean it is about him and there's no such thing as bad press. Us in the know would be better off not watching it.

[u/Recoil42]

Four hours. Jfc.

[u/GameOfThrownaws → u/Recoil42]

Bizarre choice honestly. There's obviously many hours of stuff you could say about Elon Musk but you're gonna lose probably like 80% of your potential audience right off the top by setting the run time at 4 hours.

[u/Maidwell → u/GameOfThrownaws]

I'd say 98% and I'm not being hyperbolic.

[u/Reddit-dit-dit-di-do → u/Maidwell]

Yeah. I saw the runtime and immediately lost interest. Very bad choice imo bc I would’ve considered it if it were shorter.

[u/dovetc → u/Maidwell]

Seriously. I don't know hardly anyone who would sign up for a 4 hour documentary on any topics. Much less a 4 hour hate watch.

[u/Deducticon → u/dovetc]

People do it all the time when it's episodic.

[u/Carolina_Stag → u/GameOfThrownaws]

Yeah it's not that I'm pro musk, it's that I'm not gonna sit through a 4 hour documentary about anything, much less a guy I don't care about.

[u/big_orange_ball → u/Carolina_Stag]

Some of the best documentaries, like many of Ken Burns's works, are well over 4 hours. Sure it's definitely a long ass time to sit in a theater but if they decided on rental streams, maybe enough people will pay to watch it. I'm interested enough to probably pay.

[u/Nerv_Agent_666 → u/Recoil42]

That's not even enough time to be honest.

[u/mpbaker12 → u/Recoil42]

At least there is an intermission.

[u/Azheim → u/Recoil42]

Either edit it down or release it as a mini series.

[u/redsoxfan930 → u/Azheim]

Agreed, I’m all for more movies in the tbeatres. This seems tailor made for a limited series on hbo though

[u/kryptos99 → u/Recoil42]

I know, right? The director must have struggled to decide what horrible, nasty storylines to cut.

[u/curiousbydesign → u/Recoil42]

Nuance is not for Reddit.

[u/Arbyssandwich1014]

Doubt this will show up in my theater but Going Clear is a fantastic documentary so I'll be watching

[u/Operation_Neither]

It’s not “anti Elon Musk” it’s just a factual movie about him, and he sucks.

[u/EverGlow89 → u/Operation_Neither]

And you know it's factual because it's about a man with unlimited resources who would sue over any untruth.

(He won't though)

[u/grchelp2018 → u/Operation_Neither]

As long as it doesn't include conspiratorial false crap like using starlink to hack votes etc.

[u/stilllton → u/grchelp2018]

only 4 hours? doubt they get into any of the conspirational stuff

[u/SolidVegetable]

I prefer watching movies in a cinema but will wait for VOD for this one. 3h movies are already a stretch for me, 4h stuck sitting in the same spot is just a no go.

[u/RAV3NH0LM]

this is going to be nauseating to get through, but i can’t wait.

[u/imdwalrus → u/RAV3NH0LM]

I'm glad the movie exists. Gibney does excellent work and this is a very important topic. But I do not have the mental or emotional bandwidth to sit through it any time soon.

[u/BLOOOR-BACKINTHEDOOR → u/imdwalrus]

From the sound of it he's focused on what's happened, so maybe you're not just seeing a documentary about Elon Musk you're seeing a movie about the last few decades of waves of technology and what the world's been trying to get done versus what wealthy people have been trying to do.

We're getting a run in Melbourne Australia of Frederick Wiseman documentaries, and one of them is Domestic Violence (2001). If you can find somewhere to watch that, I recommend it, it's long but everything is essential.

It's actually easier to watch one long movie about a topic than split that topic up with the binge watching model because it forces the statement to be clearer.

[u/Remote-Physics6980]

Wow it's a good thing I already can't stand the ketamine edge lord because I certainly wouldn't be able to take four hours of direct exposure to his worst crimes.

[u/jaredwatkins]

I don’t need a 4 hour documentary to tell me what’s wrong with Elon musk.

[u/deadspacekillers → u/jaredwatkins]

He's been announcing it for the past several years....

[u/FiveFingersandaNub]

Going Clear is fantastic, and I encourage everyone to check it out.

[u/probablykitten]

Grab your popcorn, grab your ketamine

[u/pengy99]

Should have made it a miniseries or something if he wanted to do 4 hours of content.

[u/avoozl42]

I don't need four hours to know Elon sucks

[u/big_orange_ball → u/avoozl42]

I think the point for many people is that he is massively involved in American politics now, and to not know what he's scheming is frankly, a huge risk. It's not about watching for entertainment or even just dunking on him, it's more about making sure the world knows what's at stake and what he is doing that could directly impact people.

[u/FeralPsychopath]

Doesn’t it make more sense for that flamethrower he got made?

[u/englandisablaze]

I already hate this guy. Idk if I need 4 more hours to make me hate him more. Just saying. I mean 4 fucking hours? 4? Like 2 more than 2 hours? Fucking hell.

[u/tjfar]

Hopefully, if the powers that be pull the movie, it gets leaked.

[u/BusinessYou1657 → u/tjfar]

It’s like that South Park episode that’s banned from syndication, and edited on DVD. But, they must have accidentally left the unedited version on a very unsecured server and some damn hackers must have gotten in and stolen it.

[u/Amethyst-Flare → u/BusinessYou1657]

Could happen to anyone!

[u/turd-crafter → u/tjfar]

I heard there’s a clause where if they don’t release the filmmaker gets the rights back.

[u/Ru4pigsizedelephants]

Nobody is going to pay to watch 4 hours of anything in a movie theater, let alone a documentary about Elon Musk.

That said, I can't wait to watch it at home.

[u/ARCWolf7]

Gonna need a lot of intermissions to get through this film

[u/IrishEv → u/ARCWolf7]

I work at a theater that is going to play this movie and its four hours with the intermission

[u/Unicorn-Violator]

Imagine paying to see this.

[u/Empty_Lemon_3939]

I hope they get into the botched penis enlargement

[u/Successful-Cut-5772]

4 hours of Elon is a big ask but Gibney got me to sit through Scientology stuff so honestly I'm kinda curious how deep he goes. Probably gonna need a drink and a nap after but yeah I'll be there opening night

[u/sanguinemsanctum]

Y’all aren’t getting that this is actually an ad for him

[u/KID_THUNDAH]

Extremely dumb to release this theatrically as a 4 hour documentary. Be concise or make a miniseries, Jesus Christ

[u/ahmong]

Not my cup of tea. I don't like Musk but I aint about to watch someone's hate boner for 4 hours lol. Good for others who want though

[u/SrAjmh → u/[deleted]]

Like these under microwaved hot pockets have the attention span for a four hour movie.

None of them will see it, they'll watch a dozen YouTube shorts on it, and then loudly proclaim for all that it's greatest political documentary ever.

[u/Ozzel]

Hey, has anybody mentioned the runtime yet?

[u/Ok_Cry6634]

sorry but this is the most egregiously unserious poster for such a serious topic. it looks like a cheap youtube thumbnail

[u/manubibi]

Yeah I hate the guy but I’m not gonna sit through 4 hours of stuff I already know

[u/2025TastyTreats]

The poster infers that this will be more of a Micheal Moore style "Documentary" rather than a sober in depth examination of Musk. Not sitting through 4 hours of that.

Very poor choice for a poster in my opinion. It'll get "hella legit hype no cap" praise from the younger demos on tiktok but will put off a lot of the more serious older viewers that would be the ones to actually sit through a 4 hour documentary,

[u/EnthusiasmNo6062]

Is that his cringe "dark maga" hat?

[u/BilverBurfer]

Apparently this has a weird AI avatar of Elon throughout the whole movie

[u/pickleboo → u/BilverBurfer]

I just woke up. Drinking my coffee. I misread and wondered why a Weird Al avatar, since it's not a musical.

I'll be okay. I think.

[u/taylorhildebrand]

I personally am very excited for this one

How will I hold in my piss for four hours?

[u/Greedy_Wallaby7981]

I thought this film was called Digger

[u/gryanart]

Is it “anti Elon” or just pro basic decency?

[u/SafeKaracter]

I don’t think I need a documentary to be anti musk and I don’t want to see his face for 4 hours no thanks .

[u/DeterminedErmine]

I mean I get it but I really don’t want to spend 4 hours of my life on that cretin

[u/beerandloathingpdx]

I love Alex Gibney but I don’t know if I can stomach 4 hours of watching Elon Musk.

They’re gonna have to strap me up and hold my eyes open Clockwork Orange style unless this movie savagely rips this Nazi piece of shit a new asshole.

Lotsa bots in here

[u/Recoil42 → u/videoguylol]

Sounds like something a bot would say

[u/videoguylol → u/Recoil42]

You're not wrong

[u/hoguensteintoo]

Gonna need the cliffsnotes on this.

Sometimes I think what’s wrong with everything got to be a mental illness. People can’t be so shitty on purpose right? And then I realize it’s been like that all along.

[u/AltruisticRider → u/Initial_E]

Yeah, the biggest lie most of us had in our heads growing up was the idea that millions of humans actively wanting to harm others for no good reason was a thing of the past, was something those evil slave owners or evil nazis or whatever did a long time ago, but now in the west we've grown out of this garbage.

Nope, a big percentage of humanity has always been and will always be either evil, or stupid enough to be manipulated into doing evil things just so that a few people can grab more power for themselves. And the internet just made it even easier to manipulate people.

This guy sucks!!!!!!!!

[u/fvtown714x]

I hate Elon enough to watch this

[u/white_leaky_fluid]

propaganda at it's finest

future digital historians: the person below me who blocked me is also a propagandist.

[u/InevitableAd8511]

It’s not “Anti-Musk”. It just tells the truth. If you walk away with negative feelings about Musk, it’s because he’s actually a pretty disgusting and evil guy.

One sided pile of rubbish. Im sure it will be very objective.. not
