I think that Musk is a Replicant (spouse is watching Blade Runner)

1. Forwarding this to Harrison Ford.

[Intractable]

2. It's "replicant."

Some replicants are good guys (and presumably some gals).

Deckard *is* a replicant. (In one scene, his eyes glow giving it away.)

In Bladerunner 2049, another replicant is the hero of the story.

[dgauss]

3. I say let Harrison sort it out.

[Intractable]

5. Are you one of those Deckard deniers?

My stance on this issue is clear.

His eyes glow in that one scene, ending the controversy about whether Deckard is a replicant.

Also, in 2049, Deckard is living well in the irradiated wasteland of Las Vegas. Only a replicant could survive that.

And Ridely Scott said in an interview he was a replicant.

QED

There will be another sequel.

6. Have to admit I wasn't aware of that.

Was that in the novel as well or a Ridely Scott twist?

[Intractable]

8. There was a novel?

I know it's based loosely on a story called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.

I don't know the details of the original story.

[dgauss]

9. Yeah, that was the novel, the movie a fairly loose adaptation

but based on the central ideas of Dick's novel. Read it decades ago so don't remember all the details but remember that I thought the movie was even better.

And if Ridely Scott was responsible for adding the idea that Dekard was actually a replicant himself, he one-upped Phillip K. Dick in the mind game business. Not easy to do, well done.

4. Thanks, corrected

7. Nah...the replicants in Blade Runner can express compassion.

Musk, as a movie character, would be Adolf Gump or Reich Man...a Nazi savant.

10. He and most billionaire are homunculuses.

They look normal as young people but at some point get replaced with something made from pale skin, sticks, and fingernail clippings. How many are pale, pasty, lack eyebrows, and hair? Compare young Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Musk with their current incarnations. Notice how similar they look?

11. I was thinking more along the line of those pod things from Invasion of the Body Snatchers

12. Not cool enough.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off (the) shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
