The parallels between Musk and Stark seemed perfect on paper. Both are billionaire tech innovators with a flair for the dramatic and dreams of changing the world.

His cameo in the 2nd Iron Man movie always felt so cringey to me. I don't know how it came about, but I like to imagine Musk asked the production for the role. It is so clear to me that he desperately wants to be seen as the man who will single handedly save the world. His companies do incredibly impressive things, I cannot discredit the work of SpaceX, but the more he speaks, the more I am convinced that he is just an egomaniac cosplaying as a genius.

I don’t know how it came about

iirc the facility that we see housing the evil iron man ripoff suits was a SpaceX facility irl
