Live long enough to see yourself become the villain

What was your first impression of him that made you see him like that?
The Hyperloop shit, it was never explained to me how a proprietary system that needed sealed tubes under constant reduced preassure could ever be cheaper or safer than normal rail.
Especially since I remember the last time this dumb concept showed it's face, Swiss Metro was the name then, and it fell on it's arse then just as the Hyperloop did now.

Watch Iron Man 2 again. Even Tony didn't want to deal with him.

Well fuck. I tried...
Doesn’t work if it’s in the description. Has to be the title

They were in the same room in Ironman 2.
Twinsies!

Nah, at least Thanos thought he was doing the right thing. His goals were ultimately noble but psychotic.
Elon doesn't care about doing the right thing, he only cares about money and his ego.

Wasn't there a story about him just wanting to score a date with Death in the comics?

He was always a villian but tech bros wanted to circlejerk

Nah, Thanos was moderately competent.

Not the person you replied to, but someone else that has always seen him as a dumbass.
I first became aware of him from a cameo in an Iron Man movie, which was aroun the time all of his ridiculously over the top and unrealistic goals was gaining media traction. His backstory was claiming the work of others, like his brief stint with PayPal. He was an obvious hype man, who believed his own hype. His fucking boast of putting humans on Mars in a short time frame was obviously overconfident bullshitting. Didn't he end up putting a car in orbit, or some dumb shit instead?
This was all proven accurate with the hyperloop as originally reported having massive obvious issues beyond the science, such as needing land rights. Then as it transitioned into a shitty car tunnel it was more entertaining as it went on. He acted like he founded Tesla and took credit for shit he didn't do while making sure to insert fart horns and other childish crap like trying to spell out sexy with the model numbers, but failing to get the 'E' so went with 3. Plus he insisted on keeping the auto driving camera only, like a dumbass.
He will always do some grand thing next year even though he has made the same promise for a decade. He was always a obvious snake oil salesman whose primary success was getting government welfare to prop up his businesses. His humor has always fallen flat. Naming his kids by itself was a huge sign of how much of a dumbass he is.
car in orbit
He used a Tesla roadster with a mannequin in the driver's seat as a dummy payload for the Falcon Heavy test flight in 2018.

Exactly, not only moderate but extremely. Dude completely succeeds in his goal, entire universe against him. Elon is on twitter whining on X because his boyfriend kicked him outta the house

A picture of his stupid mug in panel 2 would have been better

Thanos, really? I'd say more like Hancock.
Pathetic and most likely forgotten by everyone 20 years later.
Nah, Hancock took way less drugs
-
nah, I like Hancock way more than Musk
They were both definitely authored by someone who doesn't respect the audience

Ten years ago, I barely knew who he was. Would've liked to have kept it that way.

Is that the baddie? I only saw the first Ironman movie and that was a million years ago.

Problem was his goal was totally stupid. Kill half of all life and destroy the stones? So it can rebound in a few centuries if not decades?

He’d look better like this

Hancock's got a lot of problems but doesn't strike me as a narcissist. He's intimately aware of his character flaws and though he runs from them for awhile he eventually tries to fix himself, "turn a new leaf". Men like musk aren't capable of that sort of reflection, they simply know that they're the shit and it's everyone else who is wrong.
