@Nicovel0 @briannawu @cstross What Musk doesn't realize is that at some point in the Culture's backstory, there had to have been a massive revolt against the wealthy. Elon and his ilk would end up losing at least their wealth, and possibly their heads.

@brianeisley @Nicovel0 @briannawu @cstross there's also the fact, from what I recall of the Culture, that it's post scarcity. There's no money. Musk would be just another guy. And he'd probably hate it.

@kbkarma @brianeisley @Nicovel0 @briannawu @cstross If Musk is anyone from the Culture novels, he's Joiler Veppers from Surface Detail - an amoral businessman who runs simulated hells that torture trillions of sentient beings, for the sake of his own profit.
