History

IN the original timeline, Stane is Tony's godfather and "friend" while gaslighting him following his parent's death.  Eventually, he is selling SI weapons under the table until he orders Tony's death in 2008.  Tony returns and kills him during Stane's 2nd attempt.
In this timeline, Stane tried to take control of SI following Howard's death.  Since Maria survived and Tony demonstrated a separation from the man, Stane is trying harder, earlier to control or destroy Tony.
Tony is slowly freezing him of of the company, largely by having Maria buy Stane's stock in SI to undercut his control.  Stane and Tony are the only two majority shareholders and Tony owns the larger bid
