An American influencer has turned down an offer worth $40 million and disclosed her relationship with Elon Musk publicly, the Saudi outlet Okaz reports. The same report links her to the wider attention surrounding a new film about the billionaire.
According to Okaz, the influencer rejected the offer and chose to speak openly about her ties to Musk rather than accept it. The report does not name the influencer or specify who made the offer.
The disclosure comes amid heavy coverage of a Musk documentary at the Venice Film Festival. Coverage listed by Okaz includes a four-hour film about Musk presented at the festival, and a separate report from Al Jazeera describing a new documentary that examines the network of influence Musk has built beyond his companies. Another outlet, Al Bilad, carries remarks from Ashley St. Clair about her part in the Venice project, and Vietnam.vn notes that the Musk film drew attention at the festival.
Okaz frames the influencer's decision as a public challenge to the offer, placing it alongside the festival's focus on Musk. The available material does not identify the influencer or confirm any connection between her and the film's production.
What to watch next: whether the influencer is named and whether the reported offer is confirmed by the parties involved.
