If you read the book, the comparison goes from amusing to unsettling, if not all the way to scary. Among other parallels, Drax ingratiates himself with England's leadership ("Your Majesty, may I have the temerity...") and cheats at games despite obviously not needing the money or fame.

I'm actually started to wonder if Elon is actually deeply mentally ill, high functioning, and living in a completely delusional reality. He's clearly trying to live out things he's seen in novels. If you haven't yet read up on where his name came from, check this out. He was named after the main character of a book written by a Nazi rocket scientist. It's almost too weird to believe, but it is indeed true:

Wikipedia says his great-grandfather’s name was also Elon. Compelling as the other theory is, this seems much more plausible as the reason for his name.
