    Bro you are a billionaire. You have comical amounts of money. You could retain 100 fully armed knights with a stipend of 10 million dollars per annum, each, forever. How, how, HOW, do you not have your own muscle?

      For someone as obsessed with surface level cyberpunk aesthetics as Elon is, you’d think he’d at least hire some LARPers to pretend to be Arasaka ninjas and guard him.

      We really are living in cyberpunk-without-the-cyber, we don’t even get the cool cyborg cops kicking our doors in.

        See his grand vision that he posted on Twitter for the future of Mars?

        A fucking highway. With cars. With a red background.

        Billionaires don’t have much imagination. It’s all yachts and private jets and abusing children on remote islands. epsteingelion

        shit has any movie done this yet? a traditional build up of these HARD CYBER NINJAS and then the hero smacks one of them and the cosplay armor shatters and the rest of the bodyguards immediately back off
