Turns out Elon Musk himself self-ID's with Dr. Manhattan, not Ozmandias
as resonating in the WATCHMEN graphic novel
"There are no direct statements from Elon Musk explicitly saying he identifies with Ozymandias. However, posts on X have suggested that Musk is aware of the "Watchmen" characters, particularly comparing himself to Dr. Manhattan, another character from the series, known for his immense power and foresight.""
Given Musk's public persona as a visionary and his involvement in projects aimed at saving humanity or advancing civilization (like SpaceX and Tesla), there might be an indirect acknowledgment or at least an appreciation for the parallels some draw between him and Ozymandias. []
Ozmandias character was projected onto him
Projection by Others:
The more prevalent narrative is that this association is largely a projection by fans, commentators, or critics.
while Musk has not explicitly confirmed an identification with Ozymandias, the character has been projected onto him by others due to perceived similarities in ambition
This reflects more on public perception and interpretation of Musk's persona and activities rather than his own stated identity.

Elon Musk has alluded to himself as a "Dr. Manhattan" type of person through social media posts where he shared images of Dr. Manhattan from the "Watchmen" comic series. Here are the contexts based on available information:
Tweets: Musk has tweeted images of Dr. Manhattan, notably in May 2022 and November 2021. In these instances, he posted images without explicit commentary, leaving interpretation to the audience. One image showed Dr. Manhattan on Mars looking back at Earth, while another depicted him in solitude on a desolate planet but now facing humanity directly. These posts have been interpreted by some as Musk seeing himself as an all-powerful, god-like figure due to his involvement in multiple companies aimed at advancing human capabilities and survival, much like Dr. Manhattan's omnipotent and omniscient nature.
Public Perception: The act of tweeting these images has led to discussions and interpretations by the public and media about Musk's self-perception. Some see it as Musk acknowledging his god-complex or his view of himself as a savior or a figure with the capability to change the world's course, mirroring Dr. Manhattan's aloofness from and impact on humanity. These comparisons also highlight concerns about Musk potentially losing touch with human concerns, similar to how Dr. Manhattan becomes increasingly detached from human affairs.
Criticism and Analysis: There's been significant critique regarding these posts, with some arguing that Musk might be misunderstanding or misrepresenting Dr. Manhattan's character, who, while powerful, becomes indifferent to human life and struggles. This has sparked debates about Musk's intentions, his ego, and his actual influence versus his perceived influence.
In summary, while Musk has not directly stated he is like Dr. Manhattan, his choice to share these specific images has fueled speculation and discussion about his self-view, ambitions, and the potential implications of his actions on a global scale.
