World's richest person and now the owner of Twitter, Elon Musk was spotted hanging out with another eccentric billionaire Tony Stark and his partner Pepper Potts.

Yes, we're talking about Marvel's Iron Man franchise in which Musk made an appearance as himself.

The clip from the movie has resurfaced and has been doing rounds on social media ever since Musk bought the micro-blogging site.

"I've got an idea for an electric jet," Elon Musk says in the video. "You do? Then we'll make it work," responds Stark.

The interaction between the two eccentric billionaires on screen have already gathered a lot of eyeballs.

"I didn't even know Musk when I watched this movie," commented one YouTube user. Another said, "When movie Tony Stark meets the real-life Tony Stark."

Meanwhile, Musk's success at buying Twitter for $44 billion 11 days after he made an offer still has social media users in shock and awe.

On April 14, Musk had offered to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share in cash. The tech billionaire has described himself as a “free-speech absolutist” but is also known for blocking or disparaging other Twitter users who question or disagree with him.

Elon Musk is the eighth most followed person on Twitter with 84.3 million followers (as of April 26, 2022, 8 am).

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” said the maverick billionaire in a statement after the deal.
