No, Fox News, Elon Musk (born 1971) was NOT the inspiration for Tony Stark (first appeared in 1963).

So now according to his twitter, he has come up with an Iron Man like hologram interface which allows you to do stuff with "in-thin-air" gestures. This man just never seizes to amaze!

When asked about seeing his car up in space: (laughing) You know its real cause it looks so fake.

He looks in shock at the absurdity of all this and how it actually worked.

This can go so many ways
He can keep smoking weed and become some stoner legend. That'd be good, he definitively seemed on the wrong kind of substance , whether it was coke or some endogenous stress hormone
or it will end with him becoming a Bond villain after all, like we all knew deep down would happpen
