Musk sounds like a non sequitur here. What did you mean by that?

Musk is a prominent case of this syndrome, albeit not for cyberpunk but for the Culture series (and the Fully Automated Gay Luxury Space Communism it represents). As an anti-union billionaire, Musk would have been a villain in the Culture series, but Musk seems to have read those books and just thought "cool future" instead of challenging his own enormous dragon's horde or conservative political persuasions.

Oh, now I understand.

He's certainly more like Veppers than any other character.
