Нью-Йоркт болсон Musk баримтат киноны үзвэр дээр жүжигчин Илон Маскийн сонгуулийн хандив болон сонгуулийн үр дүнг шүүмжилсэн байна.
Оскарын шагналт жүжигчин Роберт Де Ниро ням гарагт Tribeca Festival-ийг хамтран үүсгэн байгуулагч Жейн Розенталын хамт найруулагч Алекс Гибнигийн дөрвөн цаг орчим үргэлжлэх Musk баримтат киноны Нью-Йорк дахь үзвэрт оролцжээ. SpaceX-ийг үүсгэн байгуулагч Маскийг шүүмжилсэн уг бүтээл одоо цахимаар түрээслэх, худалдан авах боломжтой.
Де Ниро Маскийг 2024 онд Дональд Трампыг сонгогдоход 300 орчим сая ам.доллар зарцуулсан, мөн өнгөрсөн долоо хоногийн сонгуульд Бүгд найрамдахчуудыг дэмжихэд бараг хагас тэрбум ам.доллар гаргасан гэж хэлээд, “Үр дүн нь ямар байв?” хэмээн ёжилжээ. Ардчилсан намынхан Конгрессын хоёр танхимд хяналтаа тогтоосон бөгөөд Маск Бүгд найрамдахчуудын сонгуулийн кампанит ажилд дор хаяж 446 сая ам.доллар зарцуулсан байна.
Розентал дөрвөн цагийн киног үзэхээс эхэндээ эмээж байсан ч Маскийн тухай нэвт шингэсэн, анхаарал татахуйц бүтээл гэж тодорхойлжээ. Musk кино Венецийн кино наадмын нээлтээрээ таван минутын турш үргэлжилсэн босоо алга ташилт хүлээн авсан байна.
Маск уг киног X платформ дээрээ “бай оноогүй дайралт” гэж нэрлэн шүүмжилж, Гибниг “шударга ёсгүй” хэмээсэн бол найруулагчийн бүтээлүүдийг уйтгартай гэж бичжээ. Кинонд Маскийн хуучин хамтрагч, MAGA хөдөлгөөнийг дэмжигч байсан Эшли Сент-Клэртэй хийсэн ярилцлага багтсан бөгөөд тэрээр харилцааныхаа талаар болон Маскийн дадал зуршлын тухай мэдэгдэл хийжээ.

Robert De Niro has launched into Elon Musk for wasting nearly $500 million on the GOP’s midterm campaign.
On Sunday, the Oscar-winning actor was joined by his fellow Tribeca Festival founder Jane Rosenthal for a New York City screening of Alex Gibney’s nearly four-hour documentary, Musk, which is critical of the SpaceX founder and includes damning claims about his past relationships and business pursuits.
“Elon Musk spent about 300 million dollars getting Trump elected in 2024,” De Niro said as he introduced the film, which is now available to rent or buy online. “And he just spent close to half a billion on Republicans in this past week’s election. How did that turn out for you?”
De Niro’s remarks were met with laughter, according to Deadline, which reported that the actor was addressing a roomful of Academy members.
The actor acknowledged that Musk isn’t having a great week – the billionaire announced on X that Tesla would end production of his controversial angular stainless steel vehicle, the Cybertruck.
De Niro then addressed the midterm result, which saw the Democrats gain control of both chambers of Congress in a repudiation of President Donald Trump’s leadership. Musk had pumped at least $446 million into the Republican campaign.
“In the fight between Musk’s money and democracy, democracy won. This time. But just like his grotesque Cybertruck, Musk isn’t going anywhere,” De Niro added.
“It’s a reminder that while we are celebrating the massive electoral repudiation of Trump and Trumpism, we have to be vigilant — and not just vigilant, we have to be ready to take action. This is an important film, I hope you will be as moved as I was by it and spread the word.”
Gibney, an Oscar-winning documentary maker, told De Niro, “Thank you, Bob, for all you have done for all of the resistance.”

“I admit I was apprehensive before watching this film, the first time I saw it. I mean four hours, Alex, really?” Rosenthal said to Gibney.
“Four hours in the company of Elon Musk — it is a lot to ask. It is a thoroughly engrossing film about a thoroughly gross character. A character we cannot ignore.”
Rosenthal added, “2,500 years ago, Sun Tzu [author of The Art of War] cautioned us to know your enemy. Musk the film exposes Musk the man and we cannot look away.”
Musk received a five-minute standing ovation when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September.
The tech mogul, the world’s richest man, has spoken out against the project and called it a “hit piece that misses” in a post on X, which he bought for $44 billion in 2022.
Musk has said that Gibney has “zero integrity” and that his “movies are boring af.”
The film features an interview with Musk’s ex, former MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair, who makes striking claims about her relationship with him and his habits.
Speaking at a press conference in Venice, Gibney said people whom he approached about being involved in the film had a “tremendous sense of fear” that was “existential.” He also said he believes Musk is “extremely ridiculous.”
