BBC Factual has commissioned a new series about Elon Musk, the world's richest man and current suitor to buy Twitter.
The Royal Television Society reports that The Elon Musk Show is being made by 72 Films, who recently made the acclaimed The Rise Of The Murdoch Dynasty for the BBC.
The three-part documentary will speak to Musk’s family members, close friends and business associates and "promises to get to the heart of who Elon Musk really is".
The Elon Musk Show will follow Musk’s journey to become the world’s richest man, using extensive and unseen archive from his time in Silicon Valley to analyse the key moments in Elon’s career, from his first tech start-ups to Tesla, Space X, and most recently Twitter, says the RTS.
Directors Marian Mohamed and Jeremy Llewellyn Jones said: "There is no getting away from Elon Musk. It’s always exciting to be documenting the biggest stories of the day. Our series will go inside Elon’s inner circle, examining the billionaire’s incredible rise and the truth behind this modern icon."
BBC Commissioning Editor Simon Young added: "Elon Musk is one of the most enigmatic and intriguing people in the world. Exploring his roots and the way he has revolutionised fields as diverse as space exploration, the internet and green tech will shed new light on how we got to now."
