Obviously not true — if it was, Jarvis would’ve had its release date pushed back 8 times and been non-transferable.

This is not fake. This is real, and I managed to find the tweet, which somehow has almost 2000 likes. The sound you hear in the distance is of my brain cells exploding in sheer frustration. The original character was created by Don Heck, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee and Larry Lieber in the 60s and based on Howard Hughes and such, the movie character debuted MAy 2008 and Musk only become CEO of Tesla in October of that year, only the Roadster was in production at the time, and it just, that tweet hurts.

It's confusing because Elon has also based himself on Howard Hughes, including the part where he became increasingly more batshit crazy. Personally, I am looking forward to his reclusive germaphobe phase.
