The world's first trillionaire. Likely father to dozens of children with various women, based on unusual ideology. Runs a spaceship company. Penchant for extreme politics and fascination with nazism. Pulls strings at the highest levels of government. Weird-looking, with a foreign (ie: foreign to Great Britain) accent. If he didn't actually exist, Ian Fleming would have to invent him. That said, this sort of article is pointless because the public know plenty about Musk, and already have decided whether they love him or hate him.

  Too much social media and tweeting for a Bond villain. Putin always seems a bit like a Bond villain and has the creepy murderous thing down.

    Bond villains are rarely (almost never these days, I think) state actors; crazy billionaire is a more popular choice.

  Owns a car manufacturer whose cars can be remotely controlled. Just imagine the potential.

    The vehicle's dashboard flickered, and at once James heard Elon Musk's voice emanate from its speakers: "Mr Bond, you are seated in a top of the line Tesla Cybertruck. I have plotted a course on its navigation system to my Optimus robot testing facility." The vehicle's electrical engine silently sprang to life. James thrust his hand out to pull the door latch... but there was no door latch. Musk's disembodied voice now chuckled a strange, halting laugh - like an adolescent boy with a cigar habit. "There are no door handles in a Tesla car, Mr Bond! I have always found door handles so inelegant. Now pay attention: in a few minutes, the Cybertruck will arrive at its destination. We are currently training a team of Optimus robots to serve as ranch hands - they are handy with a bull whip"

Used a ton of his money to get republicans elected so that he could get an illegal position within the government to illegally cut oodles of programs leading to the unnecessary deaths of a huge number of people? Posts online advocating for a race war on a nearly continuous basis.
