It was only a matter of time before controversy-prone billionaire and C-suite memelord, Elon Musk, became the subject of an unflinching documentary, and now, we’ve learned the identity of the very artist who’s been tasked with painting this potentially unflattering portrait: Alex Gibney
Some of you may have encountered the Academy Award-winning director through such hard-hitting films as Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room, Taxi To The Dark Side, We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks (Julian Assange), Going Clear: Scientology & The Prison of Belief, more recently, The Inventor: Out For Blood In Silicon Valley (Elizabeth Holmes) and Citizen K (Vladimir Putin).
And true to his reputation, this latest project – currently titled Musk – won’t be a fluff piece. The Hollywood Reporter describes it as a “definitive and unvarnished examination of multi-billionaire tech entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter.”

“I have been working on this film, off and on, for some time and am hugely excited about it,” Alex Gibney told the prolific entertainment publication.
“I am delighted by this extraordinary group who are working with me. Onward!”
Gibney and Jessie Deeter will produce Musk via Jigsaw with the company’s Stacey Offman and Richard Perello executive producing. Joey Marra and Zhang Xin, on the other hand, will produce on behalf of Closer Media, which apparently has a mission to “make meaningful stories to bring people closer together.”
We’ll update you on the forthcoming Elon Musk documentary as soon as we hear anything of note.
