I remember when Uwe Boll was challenging people who don't like his movies to boxing matches.
You know, money is really not much else than what raw strength and violence is for the animal kingdom and early humans, and it's always been strongly related. We're just going back full circle.
Another instance where Kingpin was a realistic impression of how the rich see themselves; literally unstoppable.
Vladimir Harkonnen too, intimidating and beyond gross but with all/any money/tech available to maket themselves imposing.
But I think Uwe Boll had some training. Elon was just shit posting and couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.
