      It’s really, really hard to find a movie villain equivalent to Musk. To make movies entertaining the villains have to be clever and/or menacing. Even in comedies like Austin Powers or Megamind they have to be somewhat intelligent or powerful to make defeating them a challenge for the heroes.

      Maybe Musk counts as a Lord Farquaad, whose main power is… power? Even then it’s a stretch.

      Or Wheatley from portal 2, except for him wasn’t obvious that he was going to be evil once he got power.

        Portal 2 spoilers

        Wheatley was at least a sympathetic villain. He was intentionally engineered to be stupid. I felt bad for the dumb ass at the end.

        Elon Musk however is not sympathetic at all.

        A brutal simulator/action game. You play as a little slugcat in a world of predators and devastating environments. You have to progress through cunning and luck, avoiding predators and if necessary, killing them, all while keeping yourself fed and avoiding death at the hands of an uncaring world.

        This game has an excellent atmosphere, with beautiful environments and worldbuilding. It has animations reminiscent of Flash games with everything having dynamic movements for their limbs, heads, etc. It’s also very unfair and difficult. But getting through the main story was very satisfying.

        Cool thing about rain world is that it has a whole ecosystem of critters that run around and do their own thing independently of you, so this gif might just be of the big guy having a snack and have nothing to do with the player directly.

    nah, key difference being that Oppenheimer was very clever at a couple of things and Elon musk has been getting consistently dumber for years.

      Pretty sure Jake is Oppenheimer in this meme, realising the cost of his vision for the future coming true.

          Pretty much all of us who were yelling about the dangers of the path we’re heading got Cassandra’d

          I’ve yelled about the rise of fascism for years and years. All I got were responses like “you’re overreacting”, “it’s going to be fine”, “stop being alarmist”
