He's directed things like Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Taxi to the Dark Side, The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, and lots more. His new doc, Musk, premiered to wide critical acclaim at Venice and is out in theaters starting this week.

Synopsis: MUSK is Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney’s latest exploration into the corrupting influence of power. Through meticulous research and reporting, Gibney reframes all we know about the tech titan Elon Musk, revealing that the so-called “visionary genius” is little more than the 21st-century reincarnation of a confidence man. Using Musk’s own words, Gibney proves that even his most heralded accomplishments are rife with illusion and misdirection. Musk’s carefully crafted media image conceals a darkness fueled by misogyny, drugs, and a relentless drive to accrue power. MUSK is more than a deep dive into the mind of a power-hungry megalomaniac; it is a warning.

Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when the actions of a local crime boss leave him horribly disfigured. He soon seeks out a cutting-edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self, but also affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

Thank you :)

We are the team behind Boundrees™—the only parental control app that protects kids online without invading their privacy. AMA!

Hi Reddit!

We’re the team behind Boundrees™, a parental control app designed to solve a major modern dilemma: how to keep kids safe from online harms (like cyberbullying, predators, and inappropriate content) without resorting to surveillance parenting.

Most parental control apps rely on reading every text, tracking every keystroke, or stripping kids of all digital privacy, which often backfires by destroying trust between parents and children. We built Boundrees differently, using advanced technology to provide robust online protection while respecting a child's right to personal privacy.

Have questions about how Boundrees™ protects kids online without spying on them? Curious about the tech behind digital safety, or want to know what it's like building privacy-first family software?

We are posting this early so you can drop your questions now! Our team will be officially logging in to answer everything live on:

Date: Tomorrow, October 13

Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST
