HBO SpaceX Limited Series Is Dead After Years in Development

The book's author says the rights have reverted to him, opening the door to shop the adaptation elsewhere.

Overview

  • He said the adaptation rights to his Elon Musk biography have reverted to him and invited serious offers from networks or streamers.
