Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Iron man 1 came out and he had his PR team work around the clock to convince everyone he was the real life Tony Stark.
My pet theory is that Robert Downey Jr is the reason Elon musk is as successful as he is.
Considering RDJ's role as Tony Stark seems to have given Musk the template he used for his public rise to fame, you may be on to something.
Now I wonder if Musk calling the diver "pedo guy" was him thinking "yeah, this is exactly what Tony Stark would say to the bad guy" because he doesn't understand media literacy even a little bit. (More likely, it's just him being the regular type of weird we've come to expect from him)
like Matt Mullenweg trying to figure out what Ghandi would do
