yeah uhh and i'm not a comic person but even i know he was created by Stan Lee long before Elon was a thing... like 70s 80s during Vietnam. am i missing something? is movie stark considered separate from comics stark? is this actually a good troll by Elon for once?

Tony Stark in the comics is definitely less of an asshole than the RDJ movie version, but only by a modicum. Tony Stark is just an asshole period.
