New films critically examine Silicon Valley figures like Zuckerberg, Holmes, and Musk

Several recent films, including Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s You Can See Everything, and Alex Gibney’s Musk documentary, offer critical looks at tech founders. The Social Reckoning frames Mark Zuckerberg as a destabilizing figure, drawing from Frances Haugen’s allegations regarding Instagram’s impact on teens and misinformation spread. Gibney’s documentary questions why the public allowed Elon Musk to accrue significant global power, leading X to block the feature from advertising and Musk to threaten legal action.
