It has been several years since I read it. Complicating my ability to tell how closely they are following the book, I watched a YouTube video recently that researched the real life case in which Dumas based it. The guy seeking revenge in real life was not a fabulously wealthy count, but the essential story of a guy wrongly accused of being part of a Bonapartist plot who was sent off to prison without a trial was there. There are some problems verifying the existence of the victim from the department's records, but the summary of the case written by a Paris police archivist upon which Dumas relied seems to be real, with the conspirators and their children suffering the revenge seem to be real. By comparison, the novel is dark with a couple moments of the vengeance seeker showing compassion.
Anyway, what does this have to do with Elon Musk? Recall that part of why he spent billions to buy Twitter and then spent millions to get Trump elected was that the transgender industrial complex used "he'll commit suicide" to mutilate Musk's son. Musk has used his wealth that dramatically dwarfs Monte Cristo's wealth to take revenge on an industry thay destroyed his son.
Unlike the protagonist of Dumas' novel, to my knowledge Musk has not taken personal revenge on the people involved, except to the extent that he has destroyed this money making criminal enterprise.
