Hopefully the movie ends like this:

I can almost guarantee that the Bat-Iron-Man suit is made from Kryptonian tech/materials.

He would be.
I'm pretty sure the people hating Lex are in the 50+ crowd who think everyone powerful and successful should look like they're from Mad Men.
Fact is that most of our current New Money Billionaires look like Zuckerberg and Musk.

I'd say you're pretty wrong on that. If you want to turn Lex into simply a nerd who is a clear Zuckerberg rip-off, that's fine but it's not who Lex Luthor as a character is. Lex isn't Don Draper in just obsessing with cash, but really seeing himself as the champion of humanity and seeks to build a better and brighter world. He's just a heavily corrupt idealist willing to go through brutal means to make sure these ideals are a reality.
This is more how I imagine Luthor: All Star Superman

That's what I think they are going after. The "Lex" in modern times would have that Silicon Valley look.

I think the essence of a character, in this case Lex, can still very much align with the source material while having a different presentation (i.e. attire).
Example - Heath Ledger's non-perma white skin was a clear deviation from how the character was presented, but his Joker was the closest live action tribute to the source material.

And who is to say this version of Lex Luthor isn't the same?
I wasn't a fan of the Jesse Eisenberg casting and am still not. However, these characters are not set in stone. You can do with them what you will so long as basic character traits remain. I don't mind the fact that they made Luthor into a young, hipster CEO so long as it fits the story and the universe they will be creating.

my ole' lady just said that she would have been all on board with this movie if Bryan Cranston had been cast as Lex Luthor.
Instead, we get this guy

I'm thinking that's the route they're taking

I never typed anything about his motives or personality. Just that people hate his look, and his look is spot on for a modern ultra-billionaire.

I think it could potentially work, but they are going to have to be careful. I'm so glad they didn't go cheap and just make him a stereotypical oil tycoon child or something political like that. He's basically a white version of Sam L. Jackson in Kingsman.

I kind of dig it.
I don't find Luther particularly interesting to begin with, and having someone like Cranston play him would be beyond stale and outdated to me. When I think about a modern corporate business CEO, I think about a douche like Eisenberg.

Personally I was hoping for Mark Strong, but they wanted to make Superman and Lex the same age. I'm not a big fan as of now at the LEx casting, but I'm still reserving full judgement until I see it play out.
