The parallels between Musk and Stark seemed perfect on paper. Both are billionaire tech innovators with a flair for the dramatic and dreams of changing the world.

They’re not, though. Stark is a rare engineering powerhouse who personally pushed past a lot of engineering boundaries, and Musk is an investor/programmer who mostly puts his name on existing things.
I might change my mind if Musk personally invents AGI, nanobots, and a previously-unknown clean energy source capable of powering a 1/3rd of NYC with a room no larger than a foyer, like Stark did, but I’m not holding out much by way of hopes.
Considering he asked twitter programmers to print out their pull requests Im not even sure he’s not cosplaying a programmer
When he apparently was a programmer, this was a bit more normal.
I’ve met a few professors requiring uni assignments’ code printed.
I imagine that a university level coding assignment and the backend code that runs the Twitter.com website (albeit just fractions of it) are several orders of magnitude apart from each other in terms of size and complexity. I don’t know shit about programming though, I took C++ in high school and got a D+. Should’ve called the class Introduction to D++.
When Stan Lee created Tony back in the 1960’s he probably took his inspiration from Howard Hughes.
Hughes had been the inspiration for a famous novel of the time, “The Carpetbaggers.”
HH was played by Leo DiCaprio in ‘The Aviator.’
Probably why Tony Stark’s father is named Howard, too.
Could be.
Off topic but fun.
The book ‘The Carpetbaggers’ became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?
I told you before, I’m not doing any more research for your crossword puzzles. If you want to keep making them that’s fine, but don’t put the work on us.
/s just in case
