Especially since Norton's character was eerily similar to being Elon Musk.

Given the plot of the movie, I would say he’s closer to Bill Gates than Musk

Movie was ok I thought, but Craig playing "Among Us" with random celebrities over zoom while in a tub as cringe was hell

It was clearly a blend of all those famous billionaires at different parts of the movie

In some of the flash backs he’s dressed just like Steve Jobs, he also does a Theranos pose dressed like Elizabeth Holmes in that magazine, the plot about the company itself was a reference to Zuck/Facebook (meta), and basically all of his actions in the movie are poking fun at the last year or so of Elon’s roller coaster of a life. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole plot about Miles sleeping with fakeRogan’s girlfriend wasn’t just an overt reference to all those rumors that Elon was sleeping with those executives wives at google (or whatever the story was there)

Y’all are fighting over which billionaires reputation isn’t reflected in here, when it’s simply that they are all reflected in the movie at different points

I don’t think people appreciate how much of a spoof movie this really is. Its not quite Clue level spoof, but it’s close
