Iron Man the character was created in 1963.

Elon Musk was born in 1971.

The actor of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) did say in 2011 he was inspired in part by Elon Musk when developing his character, but that was 7 years ago now and certainly predates some of Elon Musk's more notorious antics.

We all certainly cross the line and should be forgiven for it, but the standards are different when you're a public leader.
