      From what I can tell, Melania is a train wreck that somehow is hard to keep watching. It’s not even good enough for the ironic lols.

        I watched it. (I had hard drive space to spare 🤷‍♂️) It was awful. It was like a 90 minute ad without any background about her.

        You’d think a documentary would talk about where a person grew up and their early life, but not this one. It just talks about how she’s a fashion designer and some other bullshit that I kinda zoned out on.

          You have to wait for the Epstein files to be released before her backstory is unlocked.

          I guess it sort of is an ad in the most depressing way imaginable.

        The reviews were worth reading, though. Film critics REALLY brought out the big guns when it came to creative ways to express how much it sucked.

    They left out this exchange (as described in this Hollywood Reporter article):

    Musk has been publicly attacking the project since it was announced. After Gibney’s intentions were revealed in 2023, Musk dismissed it on X as a “hit-piece,” prompting the director to reply, “How would you know?” Musk later called Gibney a “douche,” to which Gibney simply responded: “Douché.”

    A person secure with themselves would simply ignore the documentary or respond with commentary about how freedom of expression is good and healthy. But this is Elon we’re talking about, so being a mentally inept, petulant fucking child is more his speed. He loves freeze peach until it comes for him. People that have nothing of value to say will always defer to punching down and name-calling.

    I will listen carefully to Elon Musk’s grievances once he releases that “historically accurate” version of the Odyssey.

    Do you remember saying that Elon?

    Without his comments, I wouldn’t have the urge to watch it.

    So thanks Elon for the exceptional marketing.

    It makes me happy to see Musk triggered. Can dish it, can’t take it. What an alpha.
