Walter Isaacson, the American author who wrote the bestselling biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, will work on the life story of Tesla and SpaceX president Elon Musk.

“If you’re curious about Tesla, SpaceX, and my general goings on, @WalterIsaacson is writing a biography,” Musk tweeted Wednesday night.

On social media, Musk noted that Isaacson accompanied him for several days to gather material for the book.

“At last ... someone will penetrate the silent, mysterious and incognito facade that that particular subject projects ... ”, tweeted another user, to which Musk responded with a laughing emoji.

Isaacson is also the author of biographies on Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein.

Ashlee Vance published a book based on interviews with Musk in 2015 before Tesla became the world’s most valuable car company.
