I read a comic published from 1983 or so where tony stark was drunk and erratic. He absolutely isn't modeled after musk. He's got the charm of a wet box. Rdj's ironman precense is always felt for better or worse, musk has the charisma of a soggy loaf of bread

Tony Stark was always a shit character, the only storyline that was good was Demon in a Bottle. It's amazing that a B-lister Marvel superhero got so famous.

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?
