We have a List of people by Erdős number with no clear procedure for how to actually compute the Erdős number - but the tool [1] maintained by American Mathematical Society seems to be generally accepted.
Similarly, our page on Bacon Number has an external link to [2], allowing its user to compute a person's collaborative distance with Kevin Bacon.
As such, anyone can convince themselves of the self-evident fact that Elon Musk via Iron Man 2 and co-actor Mickey Rourke has a Bacon Number of 2 (since Rourke co-acts with Bacon in Diner (1982 film) - and apparently per this tool Musk has never/not yet directly acted with Kevin Bacon,
Similarly, one can see that Pardis Sabeti has an Erdős number of 3. Since Musk has (recently) co-authored a paper with Sabeti, it follows self-evidently that Musk has an Erdős number that cannot exceed 4.
Finally, since - in the words of Kevin Bacon acting as Jack Swigert in Apollo 13 (film) - "I can add", Musk has an Erdős–Bacon number which cannot exceed 6.
This raises the question, what is the bar for self-evident information - as opposed to WP:OR?
Without being given the opportunity to consider my above reasoning JayBeeEll evidently considered the above to be OR (and reverted my bold edit).
So per WP:BRD and because I think the question could have other, similar applications I solicit opinions from interested editors. Lklundin ( talk) 16:24, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
He appeared in movie Bombshell (2019 film) @51:17 into the movie. Please mention that. Rizosome ( talk) 03:06, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
The article has been tagged with recentism. Given that he has emerged as famous in recent years, and the article covers things from 2010, is this really a problem. What is missing from before 2010 ? -- Beardo ( talk) 03:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
