Elon tried to get CDPR to add him as a character in Cyberpunk 2077, not realizing that he's literally Saburo Arasaka.

In said interview, Grossman told the site that "Musk plainly imagines he's the JC Denton of this world—a plainspoken everyman, standing up to the elite. As is obvious to everyone, Musk is the one with power and he's just pathologically incapable of honest introspection."

And even more scathing: "I would say Musk is like a Deus Ex villain, except that the franchise doesn't have any villains as whiny and self-servingly delusional as he's shown himself to be.

LOL the last part of the article is the best

I have been saying, for I think years now, that Elon thinks he is JC when he is actually a even cringier version of Bob Page.

He literally had JC as his Twitter avatar for like a year at one point.

Its so fucking pathetic.

I guess I am glad the actual scriptwriter agrees.

Elon is the fakest try hard gamer that has ever existed, landing us in a reality that is somehow more absurd and ludicrous than even the wackier elements of DX, all because daddy didn't love him and he just wanted to be cool.

Cyberpunk as a genre is a warning, not a fucking aspirational instruction manual.

I guess we can only hope he neuralinks up his own brain at some point, and then shortly thereafter discovers the folly of making it use bluetooth.

Can he use his money to get the final game made? It may improve my perception of him by 1%… or maybe 0.1%

It would be better if he read Kapital instead in his adolescent years

I wouldn't consider Elon literally ignoring the reality of Deus Ex (i.e. Elon is the villain) to be its legacy.

Elon being a dumbass is his legacy.

Not like we consider killing John Lennon to be Catcher in the Rye's legacy

I don't believe for a minute Elon is intelligent enough to play Deus Ex considering he pays people to play brain dead ARPG for him.

Elon Musk when an actual plague he may even believe to be an actual bioweapon spills into the schools and churches while the bodies pile up in the streets

Don't worry Grossman. For every bootlicker that played Deus Ex and took the Illuminati or control endings there is at least one of us who took the insane "We'll start again in villages!" ending just so none of the game's rich psychopaths could win. And I promise my next playthrough of Dishonored will be an ACAB abattoir.

Don't let the kind of guy DX was about stopping go on to define the past, please! That's the exact kind consent fabricating bullshit the bad guys built Eliza, Icarus and Daedalus for in those games. We never asked for this.

lol

Imagine if Musk had latched onto Leisure Suit Larry and identified with that character instead...

Aw jeez, is this another variant of the "toxic fasch dudes love Fight Club because they don't get that it is (trying and failing?) to critique not celebrate toxic masculinity" problem? Ooof.

It's fucking astounding to me how right-wingers are incapable of seeing a dystopia and not thinking it's a utopia.
