  He actually is in Cyberpunk, if you fuck with the ini files and model directories a bit and do some reverse engineering… at least as of v2.0.

  They may have cleaned it up by now, I’ve not fucked with it much in a while.

  Elons’s face would only ever populate onto NCPD officers, and he has a balding, thinning hair style, similar to how he did prior to joining Tesla, before he presumably started get hair plugs or transplants of some kind.

  I never did find any voice lines though.

  I think what happened is he did get a proper facescan done… around or right before when Nvidia barged in and told CD Projekt: You need our money, we will give it to you if you act as game dev guinea pigs for our newfangled AI rendering and lighting tech which utterly obliterates the design principles of 20+ years of 3D game engine design.

  At that point, they had to rearchitect… everything, and the library of models/faces that they were going with up till that point ended up having to be more or less tossed, they made a new one, and only a few references to the older ‘library’ remain as basically legacy bits of the game.

  Thats my uh, ‘game theory’.

    All ElonCops are bastards.

      I figured this out roughly around the same time he was buying Twitter, and I just kept shooting him, and hordes of other ElonCops, like Smith in the fucking Matrix.
