Alex Gibney is making a documentary about Elon Musk

Proper now, the mission is simply titled Musk, in keeping with The Hollywood Reporter. Apart from the identify 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 numerous particulars in regards to the documentary. There’s no launch date (and even launch 12 months), and it’s unclear if it’ll deal with sure elements 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 referred to 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 referred to as Do You Belief This Pc? 

Gibney has a popularity for being essential 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 comparatively essential of Musk up to now, 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 complicated subjects, I do surprise if it’s even potential to know and talk no matter’s occurring at Twitter lately.
