      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.

          The first one had Jeff Bridges as Obidah Stane being the bad guy. Stane was pretty clever and menacing. Iron Man 2 had Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, who was a pretty awesome bad guy (this movie also featured an Elon Musk cameo). I think you probably mean Iron Man 3 where the bad guy was Guy Pearce playing Aldrich Killian, a sniveling nerd who becomes powerful, but also is the “power behind the throne”, making people believe that The Mandarin appear to be the bad guy.

      portal 2 spoilers

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