At the Toronto International Film Festival this September, a filmmaker presenting a portrait of Elon Musk used one of cinema's most prominent stages to ask a quiet but urgent question: in a world shaped by a handful of technology executives, what remains of the rest of us? The director framed the film not as biography but as provocation — an invitation for audiences to recognize their own agency against the concentration of power that defines this era. It is a gesture as old as art itself, and as uncertain: the hope that a film can remind people the world is not fixed.
