So who should play Elon Musk in a movie?
Reports today from newsletter Puck that “The Whale” director Darren Aronofsky will direct the film about the Tesla and SpaceX founder. Aronofsky is famous for a kind of sophisticated horror film. Think of “Black Swan” or “Mother.” Or even “Requiem for a Dream.”
What actor should play the portly menace who has overturned Twitter into X? Why, “The Whale” star Brendan Fraser is the obvious answer. He won Best Actor this year under Aronofsky. There is no doubt they’ve discussed it. Fraser has an outsized cameo right now in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” His girth could be digitally altered to show Elon when he had elan to when he started using musk to father 73 children.
And Grimes? The mother of recent Musk children could surely be handled by Natalie Portman. It’s unclear who would wear the Tesla costumes.
