The parallels between Musk and Stark seemed perfect on paper. Both are billionaire tech innovators with a flair for the dramatic and dreams of changing the world.

Probably why Tony Stark's father is named Howard, too.

Could be.

Off topic but fun.

The book 'The Carpetbaggers' became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?

I told you before, I'm not doing any more research for your crossword puzzles. If you want to keep making them that's fine, but don't put the work on us.

Way more daring than Hannah ever was...

I'm, like, 90% sure that last name is more than 5 letters. (I mean I guess Cyrus but not Montana which is the character's last name)

Oh, wait

Hannah Monta!

Now she's not named after a state!

That's so reductive. The guy is MUCH MUCH MORE.
