That is why he is fiction as real geniuses are heads down creating not manipulating which is how you become a Billionaire. The Tony Stark story is fantasy because if real geniuses rose to power, we would not have most of the issues the world is currently facing.

Tony Stark made his money primarily by inheriting and then massively expanding his father’s defense technology company, Stark Industries. You do not become the biggest weapon manufacturer in the world by not being a psychopath/sociopath so while the movies held up Tony as a genius, he like Elon is a genius at exploiting others and not really a genius at inventing new tech. I wish more people saw through it.
