Elon Musk is under fire. The billionaire and entrepreneur is the subject of a new documentary. “Musk” premiered at the Venice Film Festival, becoming one of the most discussed projects at the event. Directed by Alex Gibney, the movie features statements from all sorts of sources, including Musk’s ex-wife Justine Musk and his ex-girlfriend, Ashley St. Clair. They didn’t have nice things to say.
Justine opened up about their relationship, sharing many details, including the death of their first child, Nevada, who died as an infant. She said that Musk had tweeted that he’d held the baby before he died, claiming that wasn’t true and that she was the one who held their son.
“I learned the term ‘gaslighting’ through my relationship with Elon,” she said, as reported by PEOPLE. “During the couple’s first dance, Justin said Musk told her: “I am the alpha in this relationship.”

Musk’s ex, Ashley St. Clair, was at the Venice Film Festival promoting the film, sharing some of her experiences with Musk. She claims Musk told her in a text message that he wanted to have a child with her because he needed “a legion of children before the civil war.”
She also revealed Musk’s team offered her $40 million and a monthly stipend of $100,000 if she signed an NDA.
Musk’s response to the documentary

In various posts made on X, Musk said Gibney “just assembled a hit list of people who either have an axe to grind or don’t even know me (but still have an axe to grind).
“He has ZERO integrity. Horrible human,” he added.
In another reply, he called the film “a hit piece that misses, and makes the fatal sin of being boring for 4 hours.”
