I don’t know if they were joking or not, but it got me thinking about more accurate fictional analogues. I present: Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Musk.

See, I think of him as more of a real-life Ted Faro.
This is a fantastic analogy.
I mean:
-Grew up in a racist, bigoted society (Mormon Utah/apartheid South Africa)
-has a creepy relationship with women (harem in HFW/all the female employees he knocks up or harasses)
-initially touted as a savior because their big thing helps the environment
-needs to be handled
-irratic
-needs to be worshipped
-thinks they alone can solve the problems of the world
-runs employees ragged with impossible deadlines
-doesn’t think through the consequences of their impetuous decisions
He’s totally Ted Faro.
