Elon Musk in Cyberpunk 2077?

Cyberpunk 2077 has finally launched, but we have something more important for you. There’s a NPC in Cyberpunk 2077 who looks similar to the Tesla & SpaceX CEO. Yes, a NPC in Cyberpunk 2077 looks just like business magnate Elon Musk. (Thanks CNET)

Elon Musk?

At the very beginning of the game you have to choose between 3 different backstories for V i.e. the main protagonist and playable character of Cyberpunk 2077. The three options are a street kid, nomad, or corpo. If you choose corpo, the opening scene starts in a bathroom of a big corporation where V, the protagonist is throwing up in the sink. Soon after a NPC who many presume to be Elon Musk, walks in while you are talking with someone on a call.

The “cyberware” on his face makes it harder to know if it really is Musk, but as he turns to the side, he looks more and more like Musk.

If you have a closer look at the above image, you will also be convinced that the NPC looks similar to Elon Musk.

Is this scene with the NPC really a cameo by Musk? We don’t know for sure, as there is no official confirmation on this yet. Even if it actually is Musk, it won’t be his first cameo. Musk made a cameo in Marvel’s Iron Man 2. He also voiced his own animated appearance in “The Musk Who Fell to Earth”, Season 26, Episode 12 of the popular American animated sitcom The Simpsons and also voiced Elon Tusk, a guy with tusks who runs a car company called Tuskla in Season 4 of Rick & Morty.

Back in 2019 the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account tweeted saying “We had a deal, Elon” followed by the eyes emoji. Elon Musk replied to it saying, “See ya in 2077”. This was when Elon Musk launched the Tesla Cybertruck.

Some are also anticipating the Tesla Cybertruck in the game, but no one has been able to spot it on the streets of Night City yet. The game has a lot of main as well as side quests, so maybe we might be able to unlock it later as we progress through the game, but that’s if the vehicle does exist in the game.

There are always mods available to fulfill the player’s desires, thanks to the skilled modders community out there. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the game doesn’t support mods just yet, but we might be able to add mods in the future.

Cyberpunk has received good reviews overall, except many complaining about the game’s bugs and glitches, which isn’t a big problem as they will get patched out eventually.
