An Elon Musk biopic is being developed at A24 with Darren Aronofsky attached to direct, as first reported by Puck News and confirmed by multiple outlets.
The film will be based on author Walter Isaacson’s authorized biography Elon Musk. Isaacson’s book Steve Jobs also served as the basis of Danny Boyle’s Oscar-nominated 2015 film of the same name, starring Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet.
Musk founded SpaceX in 2002 and shrewdly invested in Tesla a few years later before becoming CEO of the electric automaker. More recently, he purchased Twitter for $44 Billion after trying to back out of the acquisition and made massive changes to the social media platform, including charging $8 per month for a blue checkmark and renaming it to X.
During Musk’s tenure as the owner of Twitter, numerous celebrities have vocally criticized him and quit the platform, including Trent Reznor, Jack White, and Elton John. Meanwhile, he was recently sued by ex-partner Grimes over custody rights to their youngest child.
For Aronofsky, this will be his second consecutive film with A24 after last year’s The Whale starring Brendan Fraser. Given Aronofsky’s surrealist directing style and the subject, the Musk biopic should be a compelling watch.
