Isaacson has written several books on influential figures like Benjamin Franklin, Henry Kissinger, Albert Einstein and the Apple co-founder Steve Jobs who himself persuaded Isaacson to write the book after he discovered he had cancer.
"If you're curious about Tesla, SpaceX and my general going on, @WalterIsaacson is writing a biography," Musk said in a tweet. This comes after a couple of unofficial autobiographies have already been written with a new one from Wall Street Journal reporter Tim Higgins claiming that Musk wanted to become the CEO of Apple and has displeased the founder of the world's most valuable automaker.

Musk has said that he may even write an autobiography of his storied career himself. Musk also stated that he has been a fan of Isaacson's work and appreciated his book on Benjamin Franklin. Isaacson's autobiography on Jobs was also the basis for the Aaron Sorkin movie on the Apple co-founder, a role that was portrayed by Michael Fassbender.
