""That kind of political weight and social satire is a real common thread between Deus Ex and Dishonored,""
""It is the thing that Elon Musk likes, creepily. It is creepily in Elon Musk's worldview. So that may be its longest, worst legacy.""
""It's bizarre that Elon Musk would not recognize where he actually sits in the Deus Ex universe, because it is not in the JC Denton role," Grossman said. "Musk plainly imagines he's the JC Denton of this world-a plainspoken everyman, standing up to the elite. As is obvious to everyone, Musk is the one with power and he's just pathologically incapab"
Deus Ex, released in 2000, follows JC Denton, an anti-terrorism operative with cybernetic enhancements who uncovers conspiratorial forces seeking control amid social upheaval, economic collapse, and a plague. The game examines how propaganda shapes society and probes questions of humanity while offering stealth action and email-hacking gameplay. The game’s political weight and social satire mirror themes in Dishonored. Elon Musk has repeatedly called Deus Ex a favorite and likened pandemic experience to its plot. Musk’s wealth and companies pursuing brain-implant technology create an ironic resonance with the game’s critique of powerful technocrats, producing an unintended legacy.
