Sacha Baron Cohen as Elon Musk? Actor Would Be the ‘Most Hilarious Choice’ to Portray Mogul in Movie, According to Musk’s Grok AI Chatbot: ‘Comedic Goldmine’
According to Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot, Sacha Baron Cohen would be a 'comedic goldmine' if he portrayed the tech mogul in a movie.
The AI chatbot also mentioned other actors that have been floated for the role, including Nicolas Cage (whose ability to bring “unique, manic energy to roles” could “capture Musk’s reported temperament”), Robert Downey Jr. (suggested in part because Musk had a brief appearance in “Iron Man 2” as himself), Rami Malek, Jon Hamm and Michael Fassbender (who “has experience with biopics, notably playing Steve Jobs” in Danny Boyle’s 2015 biopic of the late Apple co-founder and CEO). And in 2020, more than two years before Musk bought Twitter, the tech billionaire replied to Baron Cohen’s tweet about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg — in which the actor said, “Why do we let 1 man control the information seen by 2.5 billion people? Baron Cohen, an Oscar-nominated actor and screenwriter, most recently starred alongside Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline in Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV+ thriller series “Disclaimer,” which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was released on the streaming service in October.
