The four‑hour documentary "Musk" premiered at TIFF 2026, arriving amid renewed scrutiny of Silicon Valley power. The Washington Post called the film almost four hours long, engrossing and terrifying, while The Daily Beast highlighted a particularly frightening revelation uncovered by the film.

The director’s insistence on reclaiming power from "tech oligarchs", as Reuters notes, led to a heated moment when a TIFF audience member was silenced for praising the subject’s accomplishments, underscoring the film’s provocative stance. Whether the documentary will shift public attitudes toward tech leadership or simply add to existing debate is still unclear.
