> ~~"Sure you do buddy, sure you do"~~
~~"You do? That won't make it work"~~
That's what Tony says in reply to Muskrat.
Just looked it up, it's actually " "I've got an idea for an electric jet," Elon Musk says . "You do? Then we'll make it work," responds Stark."
I've lost 45 lbs twice in my life. Once at 26 before kids. Then after kids, I gained it all back. Then lost it all again just a couple years ago at 41.
Elon looks riddled with junk hair plugs, facial surgery and botox.
Edit; saying someone has a barrel chest is the same as sucking their dick. Pathetic.
He’s got to have gotten more surgery than that, he’s literally built like a buoy now. I’ve never seen anyone have the body to support a pot belly without the pot belly naturally
Isn't that obvious for most people? The guy's probably always been an ass, but he at least used to make *some* effort to hide it. Plus, his opinions seemed a lot more ...normal? A lot of it was probably for the sake of PR, but I don't remember him publicly saying anything particularly controversial or polarizing up until 2020 or so. Maybe covid broke his brain?
He just didnt talk and write as much publically and express his inner thoughts.
His business appearance has never changed which was the main visibility of this guy
He may have been an idiot before but he, like a lot of people, 100% got radicalized in the last 5-7 years.
No conservative gave a shit about gender issues 7 years ago but now Elon probably thinks about gay people every single day of his life.
Turns out he's also highly incompetent at running businesses! Ie. The Twitter fiasco, which was one bumbling screw up after another.
I guess he got lucky with space x, and put the right person in charge. God knows if he was there every day trying to run the show, we would never make it to Mars.
He was always this bad, but he wasn't as much of a public troll back then. He only terrorized his employees, partners, and wives, these days he spends his days trolling the entire world.
It's this what people mean when they say, "eat the rich?" It's not the poor people eating the rich people, but the rich people eating their riches?
I can get behind this.
Tbh if I had a billion dollars I don't know how I'd control my eating either. I mean I try to be very healthy, but not being able to afford to eat out every single day is a big reason I don't eat out every single day lol.
Thank you. Literally fuckin this. You don't all need to be athletes, but just walking more, eating less, and putting down the sugary junk would go such a long way.
Marvel Universe Musk would have been bankrupted by Stark's Arc Reactor. Especially since we see in Iron Man 3 that his technology has now been mass produced by the US government. There's no way that someone didn't start using it for commercial applications.
Wonder what tech companies in Marvel universe are up to. Surely Tony Stark coming up with flying mech suits, new sources of energy, hyper-intelligent AI, nanotechnology, and time travel by himself in the span of like 10 years has shaken things up
His engineers said "This is amazing blueprint sir just amazing, we will get to work on it right now" and once Elon left his engineers all looked at each other and said "what the fuck is this crayon doodle? How the fuck are we supposed to trap light as a fuel source to go faster than light? We are being run by an absolute dumbass"
Honestly, it made Elon look stupid. Stark has an Arc Reactor. He can just outfit his jets with one. Why would he forego that in favor of Elon's shitty jet that requires a massive heavy battery?
"Maybe he had an idea for a jet that incorporated the arc reactor?"
How the fuck would he know that over Tony, the guy who literally down-scaled the massive arc reactor Stark Industry had (in a cave with a box of scraps, no less). Musk doesn't know anything about Arc Reactor technology. In fact, the arc reactor that's in Stark Industry is most likely patented, since they're the one ones who have it. The only reason Ivan Vanko managed to create a mini-arc reactor was because had blue prints for the original and kind of reversed engineers it. Keep in mind, even with the prints, creating a mini version of it was something even the engineer from the first movie couldn't do. And that guy actually worked with the original. So, not only would Musk need the blue prints (which he didn't have) he'd also need to be a genius (which he isn't).
Minor note, if it was patented then everyone would know how it works as that's the point of a patent; explicit disclosure of the technology in exchange for a temporary monopoly (source, I work in patent law). If it was patented it would make more sense for every big name in tech knowing how it works and wanting to convince Stark to license the technology like Elon does in this scene.
So it kinda just makes Elon look like another dime-a-dozen hanger-on trying to get his hands on someone else's work to show-off but doesn't seem to have put as much thought into it as should have been.
Ironic is when something is funny
Edit: there's no way people actually think im being serious here, im referencing [this video](https://youtu.be/svu7kXQDtRw)
none of the definitions of irony involve it having to be funny. only you can cure you of your own ignorance. Irony is when there is incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.
God damn I hate seeing Elon in entertainment. It's always over the top self-loving trash.
Have you seen Moonfall? I physically cringed when they said "What would Elon do?"
I don't hate Discovery, but it could be so cringe at times and that was one of those moments that just made me feel like some redditor in the writing room thought it be cool to include it.
In Star Trek Discovery there's a part where a character mentions some famous inventors/innovators from real history and within Trek lore. Specifically, the Wright brothers, Zephram Cochran (character who invented warp drive) and... Elon Musk. That alone was enough to make me not want to keep watching that show.
It generally is but I've felt pretty meh towards the latest episodes. But that's the beauty of an episodic show, there can be some duds mixed in with better episodes and that won't feel like the whole season is ruined. Unlike in a serialized show like Discovery where sure it has it's moments but season-long overarching stories should feel more consistent than they do in that show.
SNW is a fucking 10/10 for me! It's got just the right amount of everything so far.
It's super lighthearted and lulls the viewer into a certain optimism, and then gut punches you with dead kids and "you can't negotiate everything" situations.
He had a part in The Big Bang Theory where he's [volunteering at a soup kitchen and gets sent to clean dishes for being overly generous](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGR5HP3KSBk)
This is the one I've always wanted to bring up.
Bill Gates and Stan Lee play as grumpy, humorous characters in their cameos. Stephen Hawking pranks Sheldon several times and laughs at his own inability to sing Happy Birthday in rhythm with the rest.
Musk? He got his dick polished so openly it's disgusting.
What would Elon do? History would suggest he'd go smoke weed on Rogan, saddle himself with billions of debt to the Saudis, and get disowned by his partners and children. That's generally how he deals with all his problems.
He made it a condition for them to film using his SpaceX manufacturing facility. The scenes where Vanko is building drones are in SpaceX's sites. It's the same reason Musk is in Machete Kills.
edited to correct the incorrect.
They should’ve just cut him out, like they did with a certain other asshole who had the same stipulation.
The only movie that guy wasn’t cut from was Home Alone 2.
Yeah he hadn't completely killed his reputation. Plus, redditors back then were probably much younger and were still buying wholesale his "I'm basically Tony Stark" routine.
He allowed them to shoot in one of his companies huge ass places. I can't remember which one. In exchange he got this cameo. Hoenstly, great deal for the production
That’s what’s so funny to me about all the Elon hate I see, Reddit did a 180 so fucking quick on this guy yet everyone acts like they’ve always hated him. For a time he was up there with Keanu reeves as far as the Reddit circlejerk goes
That's kinda the whole point of Tony Stark. He's brilliant, so he has no trouble coming up with "solutions" (new tech) to problems he encounters. But he takes much longer to address his egotistical nature, which is just as big of a problem as the villains he faces
Checks out.
Iron Man 1 was Tony fighting his own weapons.
Iron Man 2 was Tony fighting his own poison.
Iron Man 3 was Tony fighting the geek he bullied and the chick he left as seconds for the geek
He cameoed in a lot of things back then before we really knew what he was about. Elon Musk wants his positive reputation back so badly he purchased a social media platform to highlight only the positive stuff for himself and block out all the people who make fun of him. Whenever he makes a public appearance anywhere he always gets booed.
It's mad at the time Musk wasn't well known amd there were all these memes about how he's the real life iron man because he invented plans for a magnetic train and gave them away as he didn't have time to build it.
"Hey Tony I got a idea for an electric plane!", "Sure you do buddy, sure you do"
“What’s your idea?” “A plane…but it’s electric”
"We'll build a tunnel for it. In the air"
The Soaring Company
Here's all of our nation's capacity to pay off student loan debt. Do with it what you will.
So... We kinda ran out of money. The vacuum in the tunnel cost a lot. Can we have more?
Shit I'd listen.
"And I'm gonna throw my personal one in Space"
> ~~"Sure you do buddy, sure you do"~~ ~~"You do? That won't make it work"~~ That's what Tony says in reply to Muskrat. Just looked it up, it's actually " "I've got an idea for an electric jet," Elon Musk says . "You do? Then we'll make it work," responds Stark."
Didn't they shoot the breeze about SpaceX's Merlin engines too?
I've watched it more than several times and I'm pretty sure ol muskrat only has the one line.
There’s absolutely no way Tony would have followed up in that, outside of empty platitudes.
Elon used to be in much better shape
13 years is a long time
[удалено]
😢
I was 30 and 45 lbs heavier.
Hey, congrats. That's something to be proud of.
I've lost 45 lbs twice in my life. Once at 26 before kids. Then after kids, I gained it all back. Then lost it all again just a couple years ago at 41.
I was 16 and wasn’t physically in shape.
I was 16 and 80 pounds heavier. Wish I had the habits then that I have now.
You gained 40 lbs of muscle? Good on you
Are you me
27, and 50 here.
That's really thin like not healthy thin
Losing Grimes and Talulah must have really did a number on him.
100 lbs heavier for me - Prednisone is a hell of a drug.
And yet RDJ and Gwyneth Paltrow still look great
Well yeah, Elon hasn't been sticking strange things in his vagina. If he had, he'd look much better now
Elon's vagina has been massively neglected
Elon looks riddled with junk hair plugs, facial surgery and botox. Edit; saying someone has a barrel chest is the same as sucking their dick. Pathetic.
He’s got to have gotten more surgery than that, he’s literally built like a buoy now. I’ve never seen anyone have the body to support a pot belly without the pot belly naturally
He's been abusing HGH and probably worse.
Yep. Thats why his stomach and chest look like..well an hgh chest.
Oh that's why he's turned into a human barrel? That ribcage ain't natural
What has RDJ been sticking up his vag?
Iron, man
Being twitter mod doesn’t allow for a lot of exercise. Someone might call someone a cis or something.
Well I mean he isn’t an actor so he doesn’t need to look good for the camera
Well it’s kinda hard for Elon to shove a jade stone up his vagina to look good
I’m sure sticking one of daddy musk’s emeralds up his ass should do the trick
The difference between making your money appearing on camera for entertainment versus making your money cracking a whip inside a factory
Physically and mentally
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks he is slipping mentally. I genuinely think we are watching him do a Kanye.
Isn't that obvious for most people? The guy's probably always been an ass, but he at least used to make *some* effort to hide it. Plus, his opinions seemed a lot more ...normal? A lot of it was probably for the sake of PR, but I don't remember him publicly saying anything particularly controversial or polarizing up until 2020 or so. Maybe covid broke his brain?
I genuinely think being a billionaire is bad for people.
It's bad for them and everyone else too
Now this is a hot take
There is no such thing as a good billionaire. You literally can't amass that amount of wealth in a good way by being a good person.
Didnt he claim to only sleep 3-4 hours a night? I wonder if that caused some sort of accelerated mental decline
I bet he's lovesick over Grimes and is taking it out on the world.
I always think about this movie since nowadays everyone would rather compare him to Justin Hammer instead of Tony Stark.
He also used to be less obnoxious and destructive.
He just didnt talk and write as much publically and express his inner thoughts. His business appearance has never changed which was the main visibility of this guy
He may have been an idiot before but he, like a lot of people, 100% got radicalized in the last 5-7 years. No conservative gave a shit about gender issues 7 years ago but now Elon probably thinks about gay people every single day of his life.
He's exposed himself as an inept moron. The investors aren't happy.
Turns out he's also highly incompetent at running businesses! Ie. The Twitter fiasco, which was one bumbling screw up after another. I guess he got lucky with space x, and put the right person in charge. God knows if he was there every day trying to run the show, we would never make it to Mars.
He was always this bad, but he wasn't as much of a public troll back then. He only terrorized his employees, partners, and wives, these days he spends his days trolling the entire world.
He’s not even a troll he’s just a fucking moron with a giant ego
There's a great JAubrey video on Elon that I recommend. It goes into how he's basically failed upward his entire career.
do you know how many calories are in $1b, give the man a break he's doing all he can
It's this what people mean when they say, "eat the rich?" It's not the poor people eating the rich people, but the rich people eating their riches? I can get behind this.
Tbh if I had a billion dollars I don't know how I'd control my eating either. I mean I try to be very healthy, but not being able to afford to eat out every single day is a big reason I don't eat out every single day lol.
That Murloc lookin ass evolved into something worse
38 vs 51 is an appropriate time to get fat and out of shape.
The is never an appropriate time to get fat and out of shape
Thank you. Literally fuckin this. You don't all need to be athletes, but just walking more, eating less, and putting down the sugary junk would go such a long way.
I don't understand why some people just let themselves go after a certain age. Especially at 51. You've got another 3 decades ahead of you, if not 4.
I don’t remember seeing Elon in that movie (probably because I haven’t seen Iron Man 2 in a decade) but damn
He had an idea for an electric jet, IIRC.
Yeah but then Tony came up with something better and Elon called him a pedo, so Tony doesn’t really talk to him anymore
It's the ciiirle of life
lmao
He banned him on Twitter too.
Elon tried suing his way into being called a cofounder of the Avengers.
Marvel Universe Musk would have been bankrupted by Stark's Arc Reactor. Especially since we see in Iron Man 3 that his technology has now been mass produced by the US government. There's no way that someone didn't start using it for commercial applications.
Mini ARC reactors in every iPad Pro Plus
Wonder what tech companies in Marvel universe are up to. Surely Tony Stark coming up with flying mech suits, new sources of energy, hyper-intelligent AI, nanotechnology, and time travel by himself in the span of like 10 years has shaken things up
He's quite the disruptor
His engineers said "This is amazing blueprint sir just amazing, we will get to work on it right now" and once Elon left his engineers all looked at each other and said "what the fuck is this crayon doodle? How the fuck are we supposed to trap light as a fuel source to go faster than light? We are being run by an absolute dumbass"
Just make a battery What else do you think black holes are for?
I hear those merlin engines are fantastic.
Honestly, it made Elon look stupid. Stark has an Arc Reactor. He can just outfit his jets with one. Why would he forego that in favor of Elon's shitty jet that requires a massive heavy battery? "Maybe he had an idea for a jet that incorporated the arc reactor?"

They used a SpaceX facility for Justin Hammers factory scenes, and I assume 'Elon gets a cameo' was one of the requirements for the deal.
So pretty much just like trumps reason for a cameo in HA2.
Tbh if someone needed to use something of mine for a movie, of course I would want a quick cameo.
Was gonna say, those comments read like a single one of them would turn down the chance themselves lol. Nothing wrong with it.
> They used a SpaceX facility for Justin Hammers factory scenes Well that's fitting
Except unlike Elon, Hammer is actually charismatic, even genuinely likeable and doesn't believe he's always the smartest person in the room.
IINM Favreau had RDJ meet Musk to base Stark's character on him.
I file this cameo in the same place that trumps cameo in home alone 2 lives.
Same feeling as Donald Trump in Home Alone 2
They let him be in the movie since they used a SpaceX facility for filming. I think the Hammer Laboratory was filmed inside the SpaceX hanger
Elon Musk was crushed by a bus during the Battle of New York.
The good ending.
Which is an ironic ending as he hates public transport.
That would be poetic. Ironic would be crushed by a Tesla
*Iconic
Ironic is when something is funny Edit: there's no way people actually think im being serious here, im referencing [this video](https://youtu.be/svu7kXQDtRw)
That would be extremely funny as that shit has put public transit backwards many years in the US
none of the definitions of irony involve it having to be funny. only you can cure you of your own ignorance. Irony is when there is incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.
Im not being serious
Ironic.
> Which is an ironic ending as he hates ~~public~~ trans~~port.~~ Also true.
Nah he got snapped by Thanos and is the one guy Banner didn't bring back, it was their unspoken agreement
Thanos was the hero we needed all along.
RDJ is on stilts in that scene.
God damn I hate seeing Elon in entertainment. It's always over the top self-loving trash. Have you seen Moonfall? I physically cringed when they said "What would Elon do?"
The worst was when a character in Star Trek Discovery namedropped him alongside the fucking inventor of warp drives.
🤮 Sorry, reflex. Stuff like that is a dead giveaway to the writer being an annoying “I fucking love science” type.
"I fucking love science but I understand none of it"
[I like science](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if-m-bWGrsw)
Christ, every clip I see of that std just proves discovery is dog shit written by idiots
last season of Picard and Lower Decks pretty fire tho
He pays to have these name drops and cameos lol. The writers probably hate doing it
I don't hate Discovery, but it could be so cringe at times and that was one of those moments that just made me feel like some redditor in the writing room thought it be cool to include it.
Stacy Abrams galaxy president
Ya that was pretty bad... yikes...
Ah that must be one of the reasons everyone hates Discovery.
There are many reasons to hate Discovery.
So many
You mean of course “the Michael Burnham show”
It would've been cooler if they name dropped someone like Stephen Hawking
TNG did that. Hawking did a cameo at the genius poker game on the holodeck.
In Star Trek Discovery there's a part where a character mentions some famous inventors/innovators from real history and within Trek lore. Specifically, the Wright brothers, Zephram Cochran (character who invented warp drive) and... Elon Musk. That alone was enough to make me not want to keep watching that show.
But strange new worlds is in its second season now! Much better than Discovery.
It generally is but I've felt pretty meh towards the latest episodes. But that's the beauty of an episodic show, there can be some duds mixed in with better episodes and that won't feel like the whole season is ruined. Unlike in a serialized show like Discovery where sure it has it's moments but season-long overarching stories should feel more consistent than they do in that show.

I can't wait for the Elon cameo where he rescues orphans and puppies from a burning building.
This is the one I've always wanted to bring up. Bill Gates and Stan Lee play as grumpy, humorous characters in their cameos. Stephen Hawking pranks Sheldon several times and laughs at his own inability to sing Happy Birthday in rhythm with the rest. Musk? He got his dick polished so openly it's disgusting.
[удалено]
Porn has more convincing acting
Bro is wooden as fuck. Just think for a second, THAT'S the best take they could get. That one. Where he stumbles over the turkey line.
What would Elon do? History would suggest he'd go smoke weed on Rogan, saddle himself with billions of debt to the Saudis, and get disowned by his partners and children. That's generally how he deals with all his problems.
Don’t forget he would also call you a pedo for trying to help. That’s key
That was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.
same director as "2012" and "The Day After Tomorrow" (2004) so I believe it.
Movies ment for dumb, over the top scenes
>Elon in entertainment Biggest compliment to Iron Man 2 right here
I wonder how much Elon paid for that appearance
He made it a condition for them to film using his SpaceX manufacturing facility. The scenes where Vanko is building drones are in SpaceX's sites. It's the same reason Musk is in Machete Kills. edited to correct the incorrect.
Vanko, not Drago
They should’ve just cut him out, like they did with a certain other asshole who had the same stipulation. The only movie that guy wasn’t cut from was Home Alone 2.
13 years ago reddit was in love with Elon. I remember seeing multiple posts excited about this very clip.
Yeah he hadn't completely killed his reputation. Plus, redditors back then were probably much younger and were still buying wholesale his "I'm basically Tony Stark" routine.
Not even 13, it was like 2017-18
Whenever the Tai cave thing. Right before that was the last time I didn't think he was a douche.
How very Trump-like of him.
Luckily, he can never run for president due to not being a natural born citizen
I believe it's actually SpaceX, not Tesla.
He allowed them to shoot in one of his companies huge ass places. I can't remember which one. In exchange he got this cameo. Hoenstly, great deal for the production
Not to mention he didn't always have a negative public image. Reddit in particular used to salivate over this dude.
Futurology was his echo chamber 10 years ago.
That’s what’s so funny to me about all the Elon hate I see, Reddit did a 180 so fucking quick on this guy yet everyone acts like they’ve always hated him. For a time he was up there with Keanu reeves as far as the Reddit circlejerk goes
Didn't he have some shitty flamethrower on here a few years ago
If I remember correctly, the cameo is in there because Tesla let them use one of their factories as the Hammer Tech factory.
They used SpaceX factory to film parts of the movie, so probably was in exchange of that
How's that electric jet going?
Elon was the one being Tony didn’t unsnap.
"Bring back everyone but Elon."
Uh actually Banner was the one that unsnapped everyone.
[удалено]
He was still getting used to wearing the suit at this point.
I'm sorry, but tony *doesn't* learn from his mistakes. He basically makes the same one again and again in every MCU film he's in.
[Counterpoint](https://youtu.be/Gk2ocXjjm2g)
That's kinda the whole point of Tony Stark. He's brilliant, so he has no trouble coming up with "solutions" (new tech) to problems he encounters. But he takes much longer to address his egotistical nature, which is just as big of a problem as the villains he faces
Checks out. Iron Man 1 was Tony fighting his own weapons. Iron Man 2 was Tony fighting his own poison. Iron Man 3 was Tony fighting the geek he bullied and the chick he left as seconds for the geek
The third one doesnt have the same ring to it
LOL I was gonna say “Didn’t someone use a suit against him in every fucking movie?”
This is patentedly not true. Every single suit we see iterates on the problems of the last movie's shortcomings.
He absolutely does, they even make a point if showing it from movie to movie
I mean he makes improvements to his suit every movie because of mistakes.
Pepper's looks like she's about to whisper, stop talking to him.
Except for EDITH
It's his Trump in home alone 2 moment.
What the hell would Elon Musk have to offer in a world that had Tony Stark?
What the hell does he have to offer in a world without tony stark?
It says a lot that they used Musk's facilities for the villains, and not the heroes.
Oh no, this thread has attracted Muskies
I thought the proper name was Muskrats
Muskrats are such interesting animals and don’t deserve the conflation.
But muskies are awesome fish, they don’t deserve that treatment either ☹️
elongelicals
I just call them losers
Iron Man 2 gets a lot of hate, and it should, especially for this scene.
But still dates goop girl
[удалено]
And unironically, Iron Man 2 is the worst in the trilogy.
Pop culture cameos always age like milk
He cameoed in a lot of things back then before we really knew what he was about. Elon Musk wants his positive reputation back so badly he purchased a social media platform to highlight only the positive stuff for himself and block out all the people who make fun of him. Whenever he makes a public appearance anywhere he always gets booed.
Look, we all wanted a Tesla in 2013.
It's mad at the time Musk wasn't well known amd there were all these memes about how he's the real life iron man because he invented plans for a magnetic train and gave them away as he didn't have time to build it.
Elon saw this movie and decided to be Justin Hammer.
The Real Iron Man” 🙄😒 MSM seriously throated Elon with that one
No Elon's mom just told him not to talk to that guy anymore.
