The trajectory of Elon Musk, billionaire owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter), will reach the big screen. This is because the production company A24 – which released, for example, “Tudo em Todo Lugar ao Same Time” (2022) and “Pearl” (2022) – confirmed to Variety that a biopic about the tycoon is in development.
For those in a hurry:
The producer also reported that Darren Aronofsky, who directed hits such as “The Whale” (2022), “Black Swan” (2010) and “Réquiem for a Dream” (2000), is on board the project as director. The artist, known for his authentic approach to cinema, will be based on Walter Isaacson’s Musk biography, published in September 2023.
Films about Elon Musk: what is known
A24 emerged victorious in a fierce competition between studios and filmmakers to option Isaacson’s book, thus solidifying production of the long-awaited film project. Aronofsky is recognized for his ability to explore psychological and surreal elements in his works.
The Musk biopic promises to offer an in-depth look at the life and career of the South African businessman, who initially rose to fame with the founding of SpaceX in 2002.
His journey includes a crucial role as an early investor in Tesla, where he later took on leadership roles, becoming chairman before stepping down in 2018 due to regulatory concerns.
Elon Musk continues to be a polarizing figure. Recently, the billionaire made the controversial decision to acquire Twitter for $44 billion (about R$216 billion), later renaming it X. Since then, his changes to the social network have generated criticism, including mass layoffs and political charges to users for verification. .
Musk is currently widely recognized as the richest person in the world, with estimates of his net worth exceeding $200 billion (R$984 billion) as of October, according to Bloomberg and Forbes.
The biopic, anchored by Isaacson’s narrative, promises to explore the highs and lows of this journey, capturing the complexity and impact of the visionary businessman on the global stage.
