It’s really, really hard to find a movie villain equivalent to Musk. To make movies entertaining the villains have to be clever and/or menacing. Even in comedies like Austin Powers or Megamind they have to be somewhat intelligent or powerful to make defeating them a challenge for the heroes.
Maybe Musk counts as a Lord Farquaad, whose main power is… power? Even then it’s a stretch.
The first one had Jeff Bridges as Obidah Stane being the bad guy. Stane was pretty clever and menacing. Iron Man 2 had Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, who was a pretty awesome bad guy (this movie also featured an Elon Musk cameo). I think you probably mean Iron Man 3 where the bad guy was Guy Pearce playing Aldrich Killian, a sniveling nerd who becomes powerful, but also is the “power behind the throne”, making people believe that The Mandarin appear to be the bad guy.
elon is a lot like hal, a loser that was given too much power

Or Wheatley from portal 2, except for him wasn’t obvious that he was going to be evil once he got power.

Wheatley was at least a sympathetic villain. He was intentionally engineered to be stupid. I felt bad for the dumb ass at the end.
Elon Musk however is not sympathetic at all.
which makes it fit even better!

The guy from the first Iron Man movie.
He at least got in a robot suit and didn’t sulk so much.

I got confused, I mean IM2, the character Sam Rockwell plays
Ironically, Elon Musk has a cameo in that movie. But he pretends to be a success, so Justin Hammer’s still a better fit.
Justin Hammer from Hammer Industries. Good one.
