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.
