She would nail this role, as she always does.

I’ll also never forget that Musk looks like Kathy Bates. She wore it first.

He's just a cheap knockoff

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

And better!

This is insulting to Kathy Bates

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

The hell it is. This is such high praise of her acting abilities. I'd love to see her in this role.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

The resemblance is uncanny.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Great actress, she would be brilliant.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

Its an insult to Kathy Bates to compare looks, however she is a very good actor and i would love to see her do it.

I mean, to Twitter employees he's already kind of a SpockBeard version of Jo Bennett from The Office:

Now, you all must be in a tizzy. I can see it on your faces, I mean, what's going on now? I mean, who owns ~~Dunder Mifflin~~ Twitter? Right? I mean, ~~Sabre~~ X? What's that? Some company I've never heard of? Down in ~~Tallahassee~~ Hawthorne? Where is that? Near Mars?

I need you to interpret all news stories like this for me. This is much more palatable.

The sequel to The Social Network had better have Kathy Bates wrestling Jesse Eisenberg in a backyard octagon, smothered in Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hear me out: Kathy Bates as Elon, Kathy Griffin as Zuck.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jim Rash watching from the sidelines as Bezos?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I desperately want this to be real now. He would be so hilariously perfect.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

That one scene where she hobbles the Twitter servers...

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh yeah, and the next scene where she denies Starlink to Ukraine, hobbling a counter-offensive.

And the one where she challenges Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg to a cage match, but his mother (played by Meryl Streep) intervenes so her precious baby doesn’t lose a sissy-slapping contest in public.

I’ll be so disappointed if this movie isn’t released in a year or so.

e: extra ‘in’

Wasn't that the hospital?

Uh, you ever see the movie Misery?

Actually, no.

Then this'll all be new to you.

I'm sorry, but that picture on the left is Hyacinth Bucket, pron. Bouquet

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Just standing still looking at her watch she's got too much talent to be able to dumb it down enough to be Elon.

[–] pronked@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I've started downvoting everything about this turd. He doesn't deserved to be discussed.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

The sheer level of rage he would vomit all over Twitter would make this worth it and might actually be one of the few genuinely funny things he would ever participate in.

Next up: EelOn preemptively sues Kathy Bates

If only his life was interesting. You could make a movie about his empire and the brilliant people he bought though. Gwynne Shotwell is killing it at spacex.
