Elon Musk stated that the upcoming documentary about his life is “set up”. Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney, through his production company Jigsaw Productions, has announced that he is preparing a documentary about the South African-born tycoon.

The documentary, which will be titled “Musk,” will be an “credible and unvarnished study” of the multibillionaire tech entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, he explained.

Responding to the news with a tweet, Musk wrote “it’s rigged” accusing the unreleased documentary as a deliberate attempt to distort his image.

“How can you know?” replied Gibney.

In a statement, Gibney said: “I’ve been working on this film off and on for quite some time and I’m very excited about it. I am excited to have this great team working with me. We are moving forward!”.

Closer Media founder, one of the documentary’s producers, Zhang Xin, added: “Now is the time for a detailed portrait of Elon Musk, who is arguably one of the most influential figures of our time.”
