Proper now, the undertaking is simply titled Musk, in accordance 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 the moment aren’t numerous particulars concerning the documentary. There’s no launch date (and even launch 12 months), and it’s unclear if it’ll give attention to sure points 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” in accordance 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 House, which covers aerospace firm SpaceX, and a film about AI known as Do You Belief This Laptop?
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 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 matters, I do marvel if it’s even potential to grasp and talk no matter’s happening at Twitter lately.
