I've often thought that if Elon had the stage presence of Robert Downey Junior as Tony Stark, we'd already be on Mars.

Perhaps not. Mr Downey's performance is not achieved by raw personal magnetism alone, but requires a substantial crew to deliver the fully polished product. The cost of creating Tony Stark runs at roughly $100m per hour. I doubt even the astronomical budgets of astronautical agencies could absorb that.
As for Mr Musk's personal style, I found this interview quite captivating. All the more so for his lack of bluster and posturing.
