Miles’ description of Fenris at the end just made me think of Shinobi Shaw. Same undeserved ego, same Daddy issues, same lack of morals. He has a baby, so we know Elon - hypothetically - knows what sex is. But he named his kid something insane in order to look cool and edgy, with no regard to the future. That’s obviously something a Shaw would do. (Oh, in this scenario, the Gamesmaster he sucks up to is just Trump. He’s battling with Kanye West over who will be the shittiest of the shitty in the end.)

Ha! I don't disagree with any of this - valid points all around. As much as I've always thought of Trump more as Mojo, he'd also make a particularly incompetent Gamesmaster who nonetheless has a following. Which... I guess just kinda describes Gamesmaster, come to think of it. -M
