The actor Robert Downey Jr has addressed similarities between politically excitable billionaire Elon Musk – whose portfolio includes X, Tesla and SpaceX – and Tony Stark, the cocky tycoon superhero Downey Jr played in Iron Man and the Avengers films.
Speaking on the On With Kara Swisher podcast, Downey Jr said: “I’ve only met him a few times. As an almost 60-year-old recovering white American male, I just wish that he would control his behaviour a little more, but that’s not on me.”
