Shall we keep the economic kooks & Elon Musk in separate bins?



Either I don't understand your comment, or you did not understand mine. I used examples of (fictional) characters portraying impressive industrialists/entrepreneurs. I am not sure why you would call these characters 'kooks'.

Pick another example if you don't like mine — my point does not depend on this particular choice.


Rand. Ayn Rand is the one he's calling a kook.


Hagbard Celine? Willy Wonka? Tony Stark?


He did bump into 'Tony Stark' during Iron Man 2.


Jon Favreau has also said that Musk was one of the inspirations for his version of Tony Stark.
