Elon Musk and Alex Gibney

It is a surprise that Alex Gibney is on board to create a somewhat biopic on Elon Musk, as apart from his status as the richest person on the planet and being a multi-tech CEO, is also controversial in recent times.

One of the recent controversies of Musk is his leadership on Twitter, which many disapprove of or frown upon because of the many changes in social media.

Tesla is also facing these controversies as there are claims that its featured Autopilot and Full-Self Driving features are faulty, leading to accidents and fatalities in the past months.

Not to mention Neuralink and SpaceX's recent issues which question their operations, under Musk's leadership, err his lack of patronage because of his significant focus on Twitter.

Still, all controversies aside, he will be the center of the documentary from Alex Gibney who was celebrated for his work in depicting known individuals in the past. This "Musk" titled documentary does not guarantee that Mr. Tweet will be painted in a good light but explore more about his personality, struggles, challenges, and work that influences the present generation.
