Bit off topic but the photo in the article looks like a moment from the Iron Man movie :)

  The photo is not from the movie but Spacex's facilities were used to shoot scenes from Ison Man 2 and Elon has a small cameo. And it's been reported that Tony Stark is loosely based on Elon.

    According to wikipedia, Tony Stark made his first appearance in comic books in 1963, 8 years before Elon Musk was born.

      "And it's been reported that [the movie version of] Tony Stark is loosely based on Elon." You could maybe search both sides of the statement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk#Awards_and_recognition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk#Awards_and_recognitio...
