Comrade Musk, What was that comic where the Soviets had their own Iron Man in what looked like a steampunk inspired suit?

Getting that whole Phoney Stark energy again.
Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man?

Tony Stark was much better dressed than Elon Musk on a regular basis, not just for specific events. Also, he seemed to have no problem admitting to being a huge asshole.

The sequel will probably be better.

Tony actually seemed to actively invent things besides internet shitposts too.

If Muskngot stuck in a cave with a box of scraps, he would would just start Tweeting memes about how stupid his captors were.

Elon Musk worked in US illegally in 1995 after quitting school – report
Elon Musk briefly worked illegally in the US after abandoning a graduate studies program in California, according to a Washington Post report that contrasted the episode with the South African multibillionaire’s anti-immigration views.

The boss of Tesla and SpaceX, who has in recent weeks supported Donald Trump’s campaign for a second presidency while promoting the Republican White House nominee’s opposition to “open borders” on his X social media site, has previously maintained that his transition from student to entrepreneur was a “legal grey area”.

But the Washington Post reported Saturday that the world’s wealthiest individual was almost certainly working in the US without correct authorization for a period in 1995 after he dropped out of Stanford University to work on his debut company, Zip2, which sold for about $300m four years later.
It looks like Musk's distaste for an "open borders" policy is not an opinion he originally held.

Yawn.

"There's certainly things we don't understand about the universe, but I'm less convinced that there's some superconsciousness watching over our every movement and kind of evaluating it against some criteria and deciding whether we're going to go to one place or another when we die," he told "The Office" star Rainn Wilson (yes, really) in a 2013 interview. "I think that's unlikely."

"If there's some superconsciousness, where did the superconsciousness come from?" he pondered further. "So I think the most likely explanation is that complexity evolved from simplicity, that simple elements over time combined to become more complex and arrive at what we are."
Now it sounds like Musk's thinking has evolved: after fully committing himself and tens of millions of his dollars to getting former president Donald Trump reelected, Musk is now pandering to the Christian right.

During a Pennsylvania town hall last week, he claimed that he now believes in the "teachings of Christ," including the principles "'love thy neighbor' and 'Turn the other cheek,' which is very important for forgiveness."
Note that "I believe in the teachings of Christ. I believe in the Christian principles" is very much not the same as saying "I'm a Christian."

Adding to the above by first noting that I get LOLs a plenty from a multi-billionaire claiming to believe in the teachings of Christ. But look, I can also claim I believe in Christ's teachings.

Just not all of them!

Clearly he's missed the one teaching where Jesus stated that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.
