I am Peter Parker- CH-144. Elon Musk

"No problem. After the opening ceremony, I'll let you go on stage next. As for that clown Hammer, he'll have to wait his turn behind you!" Tony agreed to Peter's request without hesitation. He had already shut down the weapons department, so there wasn't anything he needed to display at this expo. Giving Peter Hammer's spot was no issue. In fact, if the military hadn't made some concessions, Tony wouldn't have let Hammer, that clown, appear at his expo at all.

"Thank you, Tony." The arrangement Tony made was exactly what Peter wanted.

If Hammer went first, Peter wouldn't need to demonstrate his product later, and the battle would start immediately. But if he went before Hammer, he could demonstrate his product, protect the people present, and they'd see firsthand what it was capable of. It was the perfect marketing strategy!

Ding-a-ling~

Just as Tony agreed, his phone rang.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Tony pulled out his phone and saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number. However, since it came through his personal line, he answered anyway—few people had that number.

After introducing himself, the caller turned out to be the owner of the Monaco F1 racing circuit, asking whether Tony would be participating in the next race so they could finalize the lineup.

Although Peter had recently helped Tony temporarily solve the palladium poisoning problem, Tony still agreed to participate in the F1 race.

After giving a clear answer, Tony didn't hang up. Instead, he looked at Peter and asked, "Peter, are you interested in F1 racing? If you want to participate, you can join me."

The idea of participating in an F1 race made Peter excited. After all, what boy wouldn't dream of driving a race car after watching a thrilling Formula One race?

Peter glanced at his Tyrant Zero and asked Tony, "Tony, can I bring my own car if I participate?"

Tony misunderstood, thinking Peter was worried about not having a car, so he said immediately, "Of course! If you don't have one, I have a few F1 cars in my garage I can lend you."

When Peter heard this, he smirked, looking at the Tyrant Zero behind him, and said, "Thanks, Tony. But please sign me up using an alias or fake identity."

Several weeks had passed since Tony's last visit to Umbrella Tower. Although Peter had recently helped temporarily eliminate the palladium poisoning in his body, Tony still handed over Stark Industries to Pepper for management, just like in the original storyline.

This time, Tony gave control to Pepper not because he believed he was dying, but because staying in the CEO position was too draining, leaving him no time to research new elements. Besides, Tony had noticed that Pepper was fully capable of handling the role, even better than himself in some ways. He trusted her completely, so he made her the executive president.

In addition to Pepper taking over, Natasha had been tested and cleared, continuing to serve as Pepper's assistant under orders from Nick Fury. Her purpose was to stay close to Tony, monitor his situation, and provide help when needed. Fury wanted Tony to experience enlightenment through moments of life and death, ultimately softening his arrogance and making him more likely to join Fury's Avengers Initiative.

Time flew, and today was the day Peter and Tony would participate in the antique car race in Monaco. Though it was called an antique car race, they would be driving modern F1 cars.

To avoid attracting attention, Peter didn't arrive with Tony. Instead, he went alone to the restaurant reserved for the upper class at the race venue. Rather than wearing a mask, which would draw suspicion, Peter used the God Eater to form a "human skin mask," transforming his face into that of Tom Holland. This was the alias Peter had Tony sign him up with.

With Holland's face and an invitation in hand, Peter passed security and entered the restaurant. Since he didn't know anyone, he found a corner seat and began enjoying the free food. The other guests gave him disapproving looks—while most were there to network, Peter was helping himself to the buffet.

Peter ignored the stares. After a while, he spotted a familiar figure at a nearby table: Elon Musk.

'Is that really Musk? Old Ma himself!' Peter thought, "I never realized when I watched the movie that Musk made a cameo in *Iron Man 2*. What a legend—the real Iron Man of Silicon Valley!'

(Side note: Musk appears at 27:00 in the film.)

Secretly impressed, Peter resumed eating. In his past life, he might have eagerly approached Musk for an autograph, but now, with superhuman powers and wealth rivaling Tony Stark's, Musk was just another person to him.

Ten minutes later, Peter, nearly full, set down his fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Just then, Tony, Pepper, and Natasha approached.

Tony's face lit up when he saw Peter sitting alone in the corner. He quickly made his way over, "Hey! Peter, why are you sitting here all by yourself?"

Peter smiled as Tony sat down, "Just don't know anyone here. When does the race start?"

While Peter spoke, he glanced at Natasha, who was playing the role of Pepper's secretary. Natasha, in turn, sized up Peter, recalling if any "Peter" was listed among Tony's close friends according to the information Nick Fury had provided.

Tony noticed Peter's gaze lingering on Natasha and assumed he was interested in her. Leaning over, Tony whispered, "If you like Pepper's new assistant, be careful—she's tough and took down Happy in a heartbeat."

Peter rolled his eyes. He already had Gwen, and wasn't like Tony, the infamous playboy. Besides, Natasha's takedown of Happy made sense—she was Black Widow, after all, and holding back was probably the only reason she didn't finish him off in one strike.

At that moment, Musk approached after chatting with Pepper and extended his hand to Tony, "Hey, long time no see, Tony!"

Shaking Musk's hand, Tony grinned, "Long time no see, Elon! That Merlin engine of yours is fantastic!"

"Thanks. I wanted to work on an electric injection system. By the way, Tony, can you introduce me to your friend here?" Musk asked, nodding towards Peter.

Initially, Musk thought Peter was just a nouveau riche attendee. His unfamiliarity with social etiquette and his hearty appetite suggested as much. However, Musk quickly realized his mistake when he saw how friendly Tony was with Peter. Tony's demeanor indicated that Peter was someone of equal status, or else Tony wouldn't be so chummy with him.

"My friend's name is Peter Holland." Tony replied, giving Peter's alias. He then signaled to Peter that it was time to head backstage to get ready for the race.

"Elon, great to meet you. When you start building cars, pay special attention to the brake systems—don't let them fail." Peter said with a knowing smile, offering a cryptic piece of advice that left Musk puzzled.

With that, Peter followed Tony out of the restaurant, ready to change into his racing suit for the upcoming competition.
