I watched The Glass Onion on impulse last night after my house finally emptied out after the Christmas festivities. I was so glad I did because it was a thoroughly engrossing movie that was a blast to watch. It’s nice to find an intelligent movie that doesn’t rely on car chases or shootouts to keep the audiences attention.
But I had no idea the whole movie was a big lampoon of Elon Musk. The movie was about a tech billionaire, Miles Bron, who is actually an idiot but got his billions by stealing the innovation of others.
And it doesn’t really matter when the movie was written or even if the writers deny having Musk in mind. Because everyone is coming to the same conclusion. And it’s due to the following:

Miles Stole the Company from it’s Founder
This smacks of Elon Musk taking over Tesla Motors from the guy who actually founded the company, Martin Eberhard. No, Musk didn’t found Tesla or PayPal. In fact, PayPal fired him after only a few weeks because he was a disaster.

Miles Isn’t Very Smart
Musk isn’t very smart either. Anyone who’s watched him flail over the years sees a never-ending stream of bad decisions and quick retreats from this guy. He doesn’t think or analyze before he acts. The only time people think that Musk sounds smart is when he expounds on a subject that you’re not knowledable about. But when he starts getting into an area in which you know your stuff, you know he’s an idiot.

Everyone Saw Miles as a Big Liar in the End
The movie mocks how Miles portrayed himself as a messiah figure out to “save the world”. But he was actually just out to make money and didn’t care that he was harming the world.
Ask documentarian Michael Moore what he thinks about Elon Musk’s attempt to save the world by peddling EVs. He’ll tell you it’s all a big money grab which uses guilt to sell cars. When in fact, electric cars do nothing to help the environment. It takes more hydrocarbons to build EVs and the electricity that powers them mostly comes from fossil fuels.

Electric cars and reusable rockets were done long before Musk came along. They were ideas which were discarded due to poor economics and even today, it’s dubious if they make financial sense. But that’s too long of a subject for today. The point is that the rest of the world is finally seeing that Musk is just another scam artist trying to snag some investor cash.
