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
