Elon Musk Doc Gets Digital Release After Box Office Flop

The four-hour documentary exploring the life and controversies of Elon Musk is set for a digital release on November 6, 2026. This move follows a limited theatrical engagement where the film garnered modest box office returns. It will be accessible for rent or purchase on platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video.

Directed by Alex Gibney, the documentary offers an "unflinching look at Earth's most unchecked man," delving into Musk's rise as an inventor-entrepreneur and the broader implications of his influence. Despite the extensive subject matter, the film's theatrical run, which began on October 9, saw it earn approximately $646,288 domestically.

Musk initially opened in just four theaters before expanding. The film continues to be available in select theaters until its digital debut, with potential for further screenings. This upcoming VOD release provides a new opportunity for audiences to engage with the investigative portrayal of the tech mogul.
