Robert Downey Jr Speaks Out About Elon Musk "Cosplay" Of Tony Stark-The Tech Billionaire
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Elon wants to be Stark. He's actually Iron Monger. He wants to be Stark so fucking badly.
From the article:
Back in 2016, Iron Man director Jon Favreau revealed that Musk had been a direct inspiration for their version of Tony Stark. Downey Jr even spent time with Musk to better understand what it would be like to walk in the shoes of a real-world tech mogul.
At most, Elon Musk is Tony Stark with none of the redemption ark that Stark got. That's assuming he isn't just the purse string holder that he is.
"This is what rich guys act like"
"Oh, except you'll be playing one who is actually quite intelligent"
