At the top of the ticket was a conversation between Variety ’s co-president and co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh and Alex Gibney , the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind “Musk,” a nearly four-hour cinematic investigation into the world’s first trillionaire .

But his politics took a rightward turn at the onset of the Covid pandemic in 2020 before he became Trump’s biggest individual backer during the reality TV star’s 2024 presidential run. “Some people posit that it had to do with his trans daughter [Vivian Wilson]; some people posit that it had to do with regulations during Covid and a snub from Biden.

We present all those in the film,” said Gibney. “I honestly think that the primary reason he went for Trump was because he was facing something like 32 investigations by 11 different federal agencies, including a criminal investigation into fraud at Tesla — which would have landed him in prison if he had been convicted.

I think he saw an opportunity to elect Trump and, knowing that he would be history’s most transactional president, knew that he could get rid of all those investigations.” The filmmaker behind “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room” and “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief” said he sees a number of similarities between Musk and Trump, such as their ability “to create their own reality” as well as “this sense of self-invention that relates to branding,” saying, “Trump was never a builder; he was a brander that put his name on buildings. Musk was never really an inventor; he was an investor, but he created the illusion that he was this science-fiction inventor.” One of the most eye-opening revelations in “Musk” concerns the 2024 presidential election and comes courtesy of Ashley St.

Clair , a former far-right pundit who mothered one of Musk’s children after sliding into his Twitter DMs. “I have to be careful with this one because this was the issue on which Elon’s lawyer threatened to sue us,” said Gibney.

“What Ashley told us — and also showed us in terms of the texts she got from Elon — was Elon felt certain that Trump had won long before anybody else knew. And she said, ‘Really?

How did you know that?’ And then he sent her a text, and the text said, ‘I found an anomaly in the matrix, and I have 10,000 space lasers that help me understand this.’ Now, what does that mean?
