Director Alex Gibney warns of Elon Musk's 'unchecked power' in new documentaryOctober 15|Duration 8:25In an interview with CBC News, filmmaker Alex Gibney, the director of Musk, discusses Elon Musk's influence and concerns about his access to U. S. government data. Alex Gibney's nearly four-hour, fire-and-brimstone documentary Musk — about tech oligarch and the world's richest man Elon Musk — is not uplifting. Instead, it is one of the most depressing and terrifying pieces of public media since An Inconvenient Truth alerted a largely unaware public to its imminent annihilation by climate change. Unlike An Inconvenient Truth, Gibney's Musk does not appear to offer a hopeful final message about how we might get out of this mess. Instead, we get an outline of how, in Gibney's view, Musk rose from upstart entrepreneur to political arriviste who orchestrated the dismantling of USAID, then attempted to create a baby farm and commune to survive a supposed civil war. That is all before, we are to believe, he supposedly upended all of Western democracy.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
