Remove the context(or maybe don't) and 'Elon Musk' is a perfect cyberpunk baddie name, 'Elon' sounds exotic and even futuristic to the western ear(tbh it used to remind me of the 'Eloi' from The Time Machine when I'd just heard the name and didn't know much about him), and Musk implies he's a no-good stinky doo-doo head
I used to briefly entertain the in-joke about corpo executives in Shadowrun LARPing as Shadowrunners or selling the Shadowrun experience to New Exciting Retail Product seeking consumers as part of his schemes, but now we've already had using a JC Denton avatar and claiming he's a cool subversive rebel while being the government-funded richest man in the world.
