One of the characters is a brutal satire of Elon Musk
Google “Glass Onion” and “Elon Musk” and you’ll get dozens of articles about how the “Knives Out” sequel is a “veiled dig” at the Twitter owner... For Johnson, however, it’s a “horrible accident” that “Glass Onion” debuted amidst Musk’s disastrous Twitter takeover. The director wrote “Glass Onion” during the height of the COVID pandemic, long before Musk was in the news every single day for months because of his controversial Twitter leadership.
If he only started thinking Musk was a dipshit asshole during Covid, then he wasn't paying attention.
I haven't seen it yet either, but this article seems to explain it.
It's sort of like Don't Look Up - plus the whole terrible timing of him ~~destroying~~ purchasing Twitter, and people couldn't help but make a connection.
