\n\tA limited series about Elon Musk<\/a>\u2018s SpaceX<\/a> is no longer moving forward at HBO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday, author Ashlee Vance<\/a> announced that the limited series adaptation of his 2017 book Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future \u201chas died\u201d at the network, but he\u2019s hoping to find the project another home.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWell, it\u2019s super sad, but this long-running project with HBO has died,\u201d he announced on the Musk-owned X<\/a> platform. \u201cWe were going to make a dramatized series about the early days of\u00a0@elonmusk and\u00a0@SpaceX. Had some wonderful scripts. They were smart and funny and true to life. I imagine it would have been a massive hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVance continued, \u201cHollywood is hard. And HBO went through too many gyrations for this one to keep the requisite energy. People also seem afraid to make something about Elon. As a result, the IP rights on my biography have reverted to me.\u00a0If there are serious offers out there to make something amazing, my mind and inbox are open.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA rep for HBO declined comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe limited series about Musk\u2019s private space travel company was revealed as being in development at HBO<\/a> in October 2020, with Channing Tatum\u2019s Free Association attached to produce.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to sources, the project was passed on by HBO years ago. The reason behind the timing of Vance\u2019s post is unclear. <\/p>\n

\n\tPenned by Doug Jung, the series was to follow Musk as he handpicks a team of engineers to work on a remote Pacific Island where they build, and launch, the first manned SpaceX rocket into orbit \u2014 the Falcon 9 \u2014 on May 30, 2020.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince 2020, Musk\u2019s legacy has grown to include campaigning for President Donald Trump <\/a>and his short-lived role<\/a> as head of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency. <\/p>\n
