29. Raoul Silva
Stylish, sexually ambiguous, and to date the only Bond villain to accomplish their goal 100 percent by killing M. Musk, meanwhile, can’t get celebrities to pay $8 per month.
28. Irma Bunt
She was the inspiration for Frau Farbissina in the Austin Powers movies. Say what you will about those films, she’s still contributed more to the world of comedy than Musk could ever hope to achieve.
27. Rosa Klebb
Her poison knife shoe isn’t something a nice person wears but hey, she invented something that works!
26. Tee-Hee Johnson
Tee-Hee can find a reason to smile even as a henchman whose arm was bitten off by a crocodile and replaced with a metal claw. Musk is the world’s richest man and if he sees a teenager using them/they pronouns on the internet his whole day is ruined.
25. Necros
Another big blond baddie, but with some nuance. His various disguises, accents, and character work imply that he’s taken some improv classes in his day, something Elon bets he would be great at but would never do.
24. General Orlov
Orlov’s plan is complicated and convoluted, involving circus clown spies, jewel smuggling, and a woman named Octopussy, but ultimately what he’s trying to accomplish is world nuclear disarmament. His reasons for wanting it aren’t necessarily altruistic, but it’s a noble enterprise.
23. Elektra King
She once cut off her own ear to achieve her goal. That’s conviction. That’s certainty. Musk can’t even decide what to call Twitter, a thing already named “Twitter.”
22. Aristotle Kristatos
After the lunacy of Moonraker the Bond franchise decided to do some course correction with a more grounded follow-up. To that end, we get Kristatos, a straight-ahead traitor to Russia who is a far more believable character than Moonraker’s Hugo Drax or Tesla’s Elon Musk.
21. Gustav Graves
Modeled in part after Richard Branson, Gustav harkens back to a time when ultra-rich businessmen at least tried to be likable in some way
