The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, just admitted something wild in a recent interview: The creepy VIPs you saw in the showโs final season? They were partly inspired by Elon Musk.
Yep, you read that right.
In an interview with Time, Hwang said, โElon Musk is everywhere these days, right?โ And after wrapping up Season 3, he couldnโt help but notice that some of the VIPs looked and behaved a lot like him. Now that it hits, the resemblance is uncanny.
โSquid Gameโ Creator Channels Elon Musk for VIPs in Final Season
The VIPs in Squid Game are these ultra-rich, out-of-touch elites who literally bet on peopleโs lives for fun. They sit around wearing gold animal masks, drinking whiskey, and making terrible small talk while people fight to the death. Sound like a stretch? Todayโs billionaires are kind of doing the same thing, just less bloody and way more public.
In fact, Season 3 takes it further. This time, the VIPs donโt just watch but also get involved in the blood bath. No more hiding, they are no more afraid to show who rules it all and who is behind all the dirty play. Sounds familiar?
The current political situation of the United States is an exact reflection. Billionaires like Elon Musk are no more funding the government just from behind. They step in the government, do their Nazis salutes and you can’t do anything about it.
As Hwang noted, โNot only is he the head of a huge tech company that controls the world almost, but he’s also this showmanโ.
โIn the past, those who really controlled the system and maintained power, were hidden behind the curtain, almost like this big unseen conspiracy,โ he explained.
โHowever, itโs no longer the case, especially in America. We talk a lot about oligarchy these days, but these so-called big tech owners step up, telling everyone who theyโre backing with their money. The people who really control the power and the system no longer hide behind a curtain. They willingly take their masks off, almost as if to declare, โWeโre the ones running everything. Weโre the ones in control.โ
If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what will.
