I don't know about casting current actors to play Musk or Zuckerberg but either would do nicely plaing James II & VII http://www.combermere-restoration.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/James_II_when_Duke_of_York_-_Lely_c._1665.jpg
From Joaquin Phoenix to Rowan Atkinson, we enjoyed your Musk movie casting calls
Although Musk: The Movie remains on the drawing board, we were delighted by the reader response to our question of who should play the part of the great man himself. Sure, Will Ferrell and the medium of expressive dance might have won the day, but considering the squawks of incandescent rage being emitted in recent days, if we …

Stephen Root in a mashup of his roles as Jimmy James (NewsRadio), Milton with the stapler* (OfficeSpace) and late-stage Monroe Fuchs (Barry) would capture it all.
Maybe the next Xitter logo should be a red stapler.

Naw Musk is someone who got a lucky break that made him pots of money, then spent too much time playing Kerbal space program while smoking said pot.
But its great that hes working so hard to destroy X/twitler....so hopefully BBC news will have to go out and do journalism again

Christopher Walken
I'd vote for Christopher Walken to play Musk. Walken does 'psycho' pretty well, and the odd speaking cadence of his characters matches Musk's to a T.
But Kermit the Frog also would be good -- odd speaking cadence, inability to make eye contact (no eyes!), same thin lipped smile.
My wife says Walken's too old, though I think Musk looks a lot older than he is. She suggested Adam Driver, who also can deliver lines with a quirky cadence.

although Musk does have a certain air of Blackadder about him
Baldrick surely (with lashings of the prince regent.)
Blackadder was reasonably intelligent but rather unlucky with his misfortunes compounded by the idiots around him.
I don't really think Musk is actually very bright but fairly lucky with his good fortune compounded by the clever people around him,
