Nah Thanos was a cool villian. Musk is Syndrome.
He wanted to be a cool superhero, but he sucks at it so he's angry and became a villian.

Syndrome was at least somewhat sympathetic, you can see how he got to where he was. Musk is more like , a loser who lucked into his "power" and abuses it thinking he's owed and still thinks he's a hero
yep this is the most accurate, Titan is stupid arrogant and his power was completely by fluke. Sums up Musk precisely. good job.
You're absolutely spot on with Tighten!
~~Your image link is broken though, fyi~~
Fixed, had the syntax for the markup backwards
I literally can’t think of a character who I loathed as much as this one, and Jonah Hill turning out to be a massive, insecure asshole didn’t help a bit.
More like a want to be Syndrome
Nope, this is how I will always see him:
What is the context of this photo?
Douchebag with a lot of daddy money to buy big leather goth clothes
I don't actually have any particular problem with that. So he dabbled in Goth - nothing wrong with it. I've been around that particular block, and the Goths I've met were very nice people. I've had my own leather and medieval phases, and am not embarrassed about them. If anything, they taught me a bit about variety and individuality, and helped make me the person I am today. Maybe if Musk had actually leaned into it properly and allowed himself to explore that or another niche space, maybe even find himself in it, he might be a bit more balanced and happy today.
He felt cute, but forgot to delete it later.
There was a group people who saw through his bullshit back then. I deeply regret dismissing them.
I remember him being portrayed as this genius who had a good grasp of every technical subject he was interested in by reading books 24/7. I am gonna admit, I did kind of find it plausible at the time.
It is funny how ridiculous that now sounds after seeing his interviews, social media messages, leaked internal emails and such.
Nah he's Justin Hammer: a failure of a CEO trying to be Tony Stark.
Justin Hammer had charisma.
Both of you are referring to the MCU Hammer. He's usually pretty competent in the comics
Musk wishes he was as cool and relatable as Thanos. Naw, dawg, I see Muskrat as a spoiled brat who always gets his way or takes his ball and goes home.
How I see Elon Musk:
If you want to post it as an image you format it like this (without the . In between)

Thanos has a level of composure, forethought, and planning that I don't associate with Musk. I'd say he's more like Loki in the first Avengers movie: emotional, destructive, and in way over his head.
Nah, Loki at least has a plan. He's more like Pierce Hawthorne from Community. A guy who can't seem to get along with anybody, who desperately wants to be cool, failing constantly, but who uses his money to make up for that.
Watch Iron Man 2, not even Tony wants to interact with Elon.
I literally never saw Musk as a real life Tony Stark. He always was more or less 'some tech executive' to me, but my perception of him change to 'toxic shithead' the moment he lashed out at people criticising his submarine idea.
This so resonates with me, I used to think he was amazing. Now I wouldn’t buy a Tesla because of the petulant man-child.
he lost the plot after getting dumped by Grimes
This should be a lesson on how culture and media shape how you feel about people.
Fuck off. Thanos was a decent person who had a good idea.
Musk is a piece of shit.
Thanos was a decent person who had a good idea.
Yeah, no. He was not decent and his idea of halving "all life in the universe" to save resources was proof that he lacked a second neuron to realize that, at best, that would just postpone the problem
Thanos was Hollywood's continued slander of Environmentalists via straw-men. They can not and will not portray any treat to the status quo as good because to succeed in Hollywood, you need to learn to navigate said status quo.
Musk isn't far from Stark as Stark could have scaled up his Arc Reactor and made dirty energy obsolete, but didn't the same way that Musk could run his businesses and treat his employees fairly, but chooses not to out of pure ego.
No he wasn't, his idea was shit.
Halving something means that, at 7% growth per year, you're right back where you were in 10 years. Traumatic events usually make people multiply like bunnies for a while so yeah.. Even in the best case scenario, he'd murder trillions of people, traumatize the rest, and all that to buy "the universe" what, 10, 20, maybe 30 years.
Instead he could go out and teach everyone how to become responsible. Slowly have less babies until, you know, the world evens out in a good number. Earth can be quite nice and stable with, say, 5 billion people, and then you make sure that in average, just as many people are born as they die. Use taxes and other things to control that. Nobody needs to suffer or be bloody murdered or winked out of existence, no dictatorship necessary, just nice teaching.
Or he could've just doubled all the resources in the universe.
If you can kill half the universe you could create an infinite resource glitch.
Thanos literally had the power to will any resource and reality into existence and he chose to destroy. Let's call it good intention, but idiotic and psychotic solution.
But that's what made him a good villan.
I now see Elon as Justin Hammer.
He damaged his personal image, started working with terrorists, and began trying to replicate other people's technology.
Who had good ideas
... like... eugenics...?
This is true of all rich folk. A good PR team can invert reality and turn even the most brutal nazi into an outright celebrity.
