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.

Ehhh I don’t know if we should be doing this. It just doesn’t seem the most responsible time to be making a movie about this man, even if it’s critical of him. Bad taste in mouth. He gets a lot of mileage out of his personal story/persona already, as a distraction from the labor abuse, antisemitism, transphobia, regulatory crimes and a whole bunch else. Seems this is just…playing into that pattern?

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
