Rian Johnson gave the internet the best Christmas gift of all time: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Knives Out, starring Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, and Chris Evans, was a hit. Everyone and their family were able to watch the sequel in time for Christmas.
Conservative media personality Ben Shapiro is also included.
The plot and politics of the film were spoiled on Monday by the author. He didn't like either one. EdwardNorton's tech billionaire MilesBron invites a group of disparate friends to his private island for a COVID-19 murder mystery game that ends up being, as DanielCraig's Benoit
Tech billionaires are all the rage these days and the metaphors and themes of Johnson and Musk are drawing conclusions between them.
Rian Johnson’s politics is as lazy as his writing. His take on the universe is that Elon Musk is a bad and stupid man, and that anyone who likes him – in media, politics, or tech – is being paid off by him.

Musk, who lost $132 billion in net worth this year, bought the micro-messaging service. He has been criticized for changing the social media's practices and has laid off thousands of employees. Users thought the platform might go down at any moment.
The question of whether Musk knows what he is doing or if it would be better served with someone else at the helm has been raised.
People are taking to the platform Musk now owns to do what Musk does best: make jokes, be angry, and roast others. Some people called out the man. Elizabeth Spiers said that she loved that Glass Onion was a spot on skewering of the man. It was like a pet toy that was being stepped on frequently.
I love that Glass Onion is such a spot on skewering of Elon that Ben Shapiro is mad about it. Just endlessly squeaking about it like a pet toy that’s being stepped on repeatedly.

A whodunit that misled the viewers in the first half is the funniest thing to happen in the future.
The spot on Musk's take was captured in a video or meme.
I wonder if my class critique was too subtle last time, let's just dedicate 2.5 hours to pointing and laughing at Musk, the world's number one dumbas.
Watched GLASS ONION again and I think it’s beautiful that Rian Johnson was like “I wonder if my class critique was a bit too subtle last time, let’s just dedicate 2.5 hours to pointing and laughing at Elon Musk, the world’s number one dumbass bitch”

I love how Rian Johnson has said Glass Onion isn't really about Musk (seems to be closer to Zuck) but all Elon's fans are like "no no, it is about a billionaire who is actually a huge fucking idiot. We know our guy when we see him. 0/5 stars. Worst movie ever."

The script for Glass Onion was written by Johnson before Musk talked about buying the social networking site. There is a clear taut string between Musk and Johnson, but Johnson didn't write the film with Musk in mind.
It's very strange. I hope there isn't a secret marketing department at Netflix that's funding this takeover It has a weird relevance right now. A friend of mine told me that it felt like it was written today. That is a horrible, horrible accident.
