Elon Musk’s first wife, Justine Musk, is making headlines after appearing in a new Alex Gibney documentary called“Musk.”In it, she opens up about their marriage, saying she learned the true meaning of gaslighting during their time together. Justine claims Elon constantly pointed out her flaws and spoke to her more like a boss than a partner, even going so far as to declare himself the“alpha”at their wedding back in 2000.
The documentary also touches on deeper family wounds. Justine says Elon never tried to repair his relationship with their transgender daughter, Vivian, and she disputes Elon’s account of their son Nevada’s death, saying she was the one holding him in his final moments. Elon did not take part in the four-hour film, and his representative declined to comment. He previously referred to the project as a“hit piece,”but Justine’s account paints a complex picture of power, money, and personal loss.
With Elon being one of the most recognizable figures in the world, this documentary adds a rare personal layer to his public image. Whether you see it as a necessary truth or an ex’s revenge, it’s sparking conversations everywhere about gaslighting, family dynamics, and whether money really changes who you are. What do you think, is this a fair portrayal or a hit piece?
