‘Glass Onion’ fans perceive ‘Knives Out’ as a jab at Elon Musk

• Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is the much-anticipated follow-up.
• Some fans believe that Norton’s character, Miles Bron, resembles Elon Musk.
• Others speculate that the resemblance is due to the new Twitter CEO.

This month saw the release of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery on Netflix, and fans already believe that the much anticipated follow-up is making fun of Elon Musk.

On December 23, the murder-mystery follow-up to Rian Johnson’s popular 2019 film Knives Out debuted. Daniel Craig reprises his role as Benoit Blanc, the detective, in the movie.

Fans, however, believe that Edward Norton, who they perceive to be impersonating the new Twitter CEO, is the true star of the programme.

The character of Miles Bron, played by Norton, is a tech billionaire whose life might be in danger from one of the friends he has invited to his private island for a murder mystery game.

Social media is awash with comments from moviegoers equating Miles Bron to Elon Musk.

“Elon I saw you in that new film knives out Glass Onion! Fabulous Performance!” exclaimed one person. Another person commented, “I enjoyed Glass Onion but it is funny to me that someone was so mad about Elon Musk they made a whole film just to own him,”

“So #GlassOnion was made over the course of the last two years or so. How did @rianjohnson and @EdwardNorton so perfectly capture late 2022 @elonmusk?” Another person inquired.

“Y’all think Elon Musk knows Glass Onion is about him?” another admirer wrote.

Others hypothesized that the resemblances to Musk were accidental. “More people need to see Glass Onion to appreciate how Rian Johnson tried to creat a sort of ur-billionaire character out of composite parts, and yet Elon Musk somehow stumbled backwards into fully inhabiting the character this year. It makes me chuckle,” one individual commented.

Right now, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is available on Netflix.
