Elon Musk is a wannabe fanboy of Tony Stark, per Iron Man 2. It’s MCU canon.

Yeah but Musk in the MCU got Thanos-snapped and the Avengers wisely left him out when they snapped everyone back

I like to imagine he got snapped while on a flight on his private jet…

From the article:

Back in 2016, Iron Man director Jon Favreau revealed that Musk had been a direct inspiration for their version of Tony Stark. Downey Jr even spent time with Musk to better understand what it would be like to walk in the shoes of a real-world tech mogul.
