The cyberpunk genre is a long, time-honored genre. Since the early 80s, we've explored sci-fi visions of the future, with low-life and high-tech, with hackers and governments run by rich, unregulated countries: capitalism gone wild.
So, naturally, Elon Musk saw that and went "I wanna do that, but for real!" By comparing Musk's recent technological developments to cyberpunk's greatest stories -- from William Gibson's Neuromancer to Blade Runner to Ghost in the Shell to Robocop, we start to get a sense that Musk might not actually understand the sci-fi he's lifting from.
