Comment on who's gonna tell him?
ImmersiveMatthew@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoTony Stark made his money primarily by inheriting and then massively expanding his father’s defense technology company, Stark Industries. You do not become the biggest weapon manufacturer in the world by not being a psychopath/sociopath so while the movies held up Tony as a genius, he like Elon is a genius at exploiting others and not really a genius at inventing new tech. I wish more people saw through it.

Tony Stark is 100% the genius Elon wishes he was. He entered MIT at about 14, and graduated with multiple degrees at 17. While he didn’t invent the arc reactor, he both miniaturized (As part of his origin story, when he created the first suit in a cave with a box of scraps.) and perfected it. If we go by MCU, he wasn’t in charge of Stark Industries for a large chunk of the weapon development days, and after his kidnapping and Iron Man origin story, he had his company stop developing weapons, so now they’re a tech conglomerate that does generic tech conglomerate things I guess.
He’s also not real, so huge grain of salt.

That is why he is fiction as real geniuses are heads down creating not manipulating which is how you become a Billionaire. The Tony Stark story is fantasy because if real geniuses rose to power, we would not have most of the issues the world is currently facing.
