He's pretty obviously a parody of Musk. Also Mark Rylance's character in Don't Look Up.
Free Guy is 2021.
Mark Beaks from Disney's 2017 Ducktales remake was ahead of its time with regards to asshole Silicon Valley type CEOs, and obviously has a few riffs on Elon Musk as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iPhrnUtQ5U
Ducktales turned out really well. You've got the long-running protagonist Billionaire, Scrooge McDuck and his long-time rival Billionaire Glomgold. However, as a 2017 reimagining, they added the Silicon Valley type Mark Beaks and it was chef's kiss perfect. Old money vs new money is still a relevant subject a hundred-years after the "Gilded Age" of the 1920s / 1930s, that these characters were originally based on.
I think Pirates of the Silicon Valley did a good job of this many years ago
