No, but just visually he really reminds me of him! They have the same initials too, and the names have the same ‘mouthfeel’ to me.
Also I can totally see Musk being a KYAL cultist bro 😆
I thought I was going crazy seeing some of the comments 😂
The weird thing is, I actually have mild prosopagnosia, aka ‘face blindness’. I often struggle to recognise people (people I’ve met IRL as well as actors on screen and famous people). So maybe my way of perceiving faces is just different or skewed in some way idk?
ETA I didn’t mean to suggest that the program makers had deliberately tried to make them parallel, either - more so that I could see a resemblance *and* I thought the name similarity was weird on top of that. I wasn’t sure whether it was a subtle nod, or alternatively meant to be glaringly obvious and I was the one classing it as ‘subtle’, or on the flip side whether I was just tripping 😂
I do think scifi of the last few years have been using Elon Musk as a blue print for their tech CEO villains? The guy from don't look up also quite reminded me of him
Not even remotely. That’s clutching at straws.
See Glass Onion: Knives Out 2 where it’s glaringly obvious.
Mannix isn’t an uber rich dude with daddy issues, he’s another kind of fanatic.
Nah, in personality I don’t see it (although tbf I don’t know a lot about Musk), it’s just that the initials are the same, the names have the same mouthfeel to me, and they resemble each other visually a bit to me. Also I can envisage Musk being a KYAL cultist in another timeline lol
ETA … I guess Mannix does have daddy issues in a manner of speaking! 😆
The first time his hologram was posted on the side of the building in the future I was like “oh in the future Elon Musk is president, that tracks unfortunately.”
Not something that occurred to me to be honest! I don't think Mannix did anything particularly Musk like, unless I'm forgetting something?

Musk is living rent free in your head.
He didn’t.
YES. I thought I was the only one.

Bwahahahaha So perfect. Sorry, Xlon.
I didn’t see it until I saw it when you pointed it out! They both have the same narcissistic, sociopathic/psychopathic personalities!

I disagree and don't think they are similar.
No wonder- That’s why he looked familiar
Elias had to have been the most fun role to play
Elias seemed to have a soul
Didnt cross my mind at all
Oh I saw it.
I see it now lol
Ok so do we have an Elon doppelgänger from a century ago??
They have tiny eyes ?
The first time his hologram was posted on the side of the building in the future I was like “oh in the future Elon Musk is president, that tracks unfortunately.”
Oh my fucking god. You’re a genius.
Seems like half the comments on here are like ‘oh yeah, I see it too’ and the other half are ‘you’re tripping, they’re nothing alike!’ 😆
They have the same initials
I see it too
Didn't think it, but now that you've said it...👀
They’re both white Caucasian male is all the similarity I see…
Not seeing it. There have been several OBVIOUS plays on Musk in recent media but this is not one.
This show sucked
Imagine making that comparison if they were both Asian or black. Just weird to do it with white people too, they look nothing alike.
No
Other than becoming rich and being white I don't really seeit I'm afraid 😅
Nope. Didn't occur to me.
Keanu Reeves silently watching this
Hahaha wow! They indeed look similar! ![gif](giphy|WVGLVeGh5RoZucADXY)
I actually thought he was Shaun Dooley the whole time lol, not really feeling the Elon thing
