Alex Gibney is making a documentary about Elon Musk

Proper now, the undertaking is simply titled Musk, in keeping with The Hollywood Reporter. Apart from the title and the overall vibe that it’ll be taking a tough have a look at one of many world’s richest males and most well-known tech CEOs, there at present aren’t a whole lot of particulars concerning the documentary. There’s no launch date (and even launch yr), and it’s unclear if it’ll concentrate on sure features of Musk’s companies or private life, or attempt to cowl them generally. Gibney says he’s been engaged on it “on and off, for a while” in keeping with Deadline.

This received’t be the primary documentary about Musk. He was the topic of 2018’s Elon Musk: The Actual Life Iron Man and a 2022 BBC program merely known as The Elon Musk Present. He’s additionally featured in Netflix’s Return to Area, which covers aerospace firm SpaceX, and a film about AI known as Do You Belief This Pc? 

Gibney has a repute for being important and incisive. He’s helped scrutinize Enron, Volkswagen, the Church of Scientology, and extra in documentaries like The Smartest Guys within the Room, Soiled Cash, and Going Clear. He’s additionally been relatively critical of Musk previously, so I personally wouldn’t anticipate Musk to finish up being a puff piece. However whereas I’ve loved loads of Gibney’s earlier work, and know he’s very adept at simplifying and explaining advanced matters, I do surprise if it’s even doable to grasp and talk no matter’s occurring at Twitter lately.
