Elon Musk, the real-life Tony Stark whose brilliance is matched only by his audacity, has once again grabbed headlines for his shocking behavior.

Fresh off haphazardly renaming Twitter to the baffling ‘X’, Elon set his sights on an even more formidable foe — none other than Mickey Mouse himself.

Yes, you read that right.

Elon Musk told Disney CEO Bob Iger, master of the Mouse House, “go f*ck yourself”.

I couldn’t make this up if I tried!

You see, Disney had the utter temerity to pull its advertising from X, joining the exodus of brands uncertain about X’s direction under Elon. Never one to take criticism lying down, Elon responded with all the grace of a sullen teen, dropping F-bombs like confetti.

Now, far be it from me to explain to a visionary like Elon Musk that one does not simply tell off Disney — a beloved global brand with infinite resources and a legion of lawyers.

This is a cage match no one asked for, pitting the real-life Tony Stark against a cartoon mouse.

My money’s on the mouse.
