I said this when he bought Bond and the Washington Post.

Bezos is basically Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies: billionaire media mogul who manipulates the news to his own ends.

Slight tangent, but Elon Musk is even more like Hugo Drax of Moonraker: foreign-born billionaire who owns a rocket company and is obsessed with repopulating the earth with his own offspring.

    This is why I think Tomorrow Never Dies is one of the most underrated films in the franchise.

    I had him as more of a Lex Luthor.

    Larry Ellison feels like more of a Bond Villain.

    Mark Zuckerberg could work as some kind of 80s/90s action movie baddie. I know a good analog is out there, but the best I can come up with is the VP from Robocop or the various evil CEOs from Tron.

    Elon Musk feels like a Captain Planet villain.

    There was a time when all past movie Bonds were still alive. It would have been a great opportunity to make them the heads of SPECTRE and dramatically reshape the franchise.
