Talking Heads' David Byrne has contributed a song to a new documentary about Elon Musk, titled 'Musk'. The lyrics for the song, 'Let Me Sell You A Dream', are reportedly comprised exclusively of quotes from the billionaire.
Byrne, who co-wrote the song with composer Daniel Pemberton, stated that he gathered quotes from Musk online, noting, "All his own words. No editorialising. Straight from the man’s mouth to mine."
The documentary, directed by Alex Gibney, is described as a "definitive and unvarnished examination" of Musk. It is set to be released in cinemas on October 16 and has been criticised by Elon Musk, who called the 235-minute film a "hit piece".
Variety reports that the song could be eligible for an Oscar, which would be Byrne's second if it qualifies and wins, following his 1987 win for Best Original Score for 'The Last Emperor'.
