He has never shied away from tough topics, whether it's Scientology in Going Clear, or Steve Jobs in his, in that portrait, Man, uh, uh, subtitled The Man in the Machine.

Thom PowersGUEST
In fact, you know, two years ago, I had been talking to Alex and, you know, w- wondering if the Musk documentary was gonna be ready for TIFF in 2024, and he said, "No, you know, I at least need, you know, a little more time to, to work on it." And, you know, cut to 2025 when, uh, Musk gets brought into the Trump administration with DOGE, the effects of which, you know, are only now really being studied what it meant f- uh, to cut USAID.

Thom PowersGUEST
So this is a story that has been unfolding, and Alex has, has kept at it all this time.

Thom PowersGUEST
Uh, people who have heard of this documentary may know it is, um, has a running time of nearly four hours.
