Proper now, the undertaking is simply titled Musk, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Aside from the title and the final 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 concerning the documentary. There’s no launch date (and even launch yr), and it’s unclear if it’ll give attention to sure features of Musk’s companies or private life, or attempt to cowl them normally. Gibney says he’s been engaged on it “on and off, for a while” according to 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 movie about AI called Do You Trust This Computer?
Gibney has a fame 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 relatively critical of Musk up to now, so I personally wouldn’t count on 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 subjects, I do marvel if it’s even attainable to grasp and talk whatever’s going on at Twitter these days.
