Excerpts:
A biopic on Elon Musk is in the works at New York-based studio A24 with “Black Swan”-filmmaker Darren Aronofsky as the director, according to a source familiar with the matter.
A24 secured the rights to Walter Isaacson’s biography on the world’s richest person, according to the source, who added the Musk biopic will be produced by Aronofsky’s production company, Protozoa Pictures.
“Glad Darren is doing it. He is one of the best,” Musk said in an X post on Friday.

I don’t understand the timing of this. The man is only 52 years old and, regardless of how you feel about him, has many open-ended chapters of his career. Why now?
Because they bought the rights to the book. Perhaps there will be another movie once Musk has passed.
Ever seen The Social Network?
This POS deserves a submarine ride not a biopic
Remember when biopics came at the end of someone’s life?
Here’s hoping.
Aronofsky seems fitting. This should be as bleak as Requiem for a Dream.
Who would you like to see a biopic of?
Well not Elon Musk for starters.

It should be ok if it just showed him really, as the dumbass he is, the richest man on the planet who can’t buy a fuck let alone love or respect. I expect it will be a fluff piece though. Who would ever expect a turd like musk to appear in our lives? A turd full oh hot air so it’s hard to flush
Darren Aronofsky is a curious choice.
I think it tracks with Aronofsky’s long line of characters with addictive personalities who can’t stop themselves from self-destructing.
Sounds like the least interesting thing in the whole world, ever
I guess someone has to direct it. Is just wish it would be a director I don’t respect, say, M. Night Shyamalan.
This is one biopic I will be happy to never see.
We all must hear more about Elon!!!
Hopefully this film leans in the Requiem For a Dream direction
