Is Elon Musk hinting at a possible mashup of "Cyberpunk 2077" and Cybertruck?
The Tesla CEO recently tweeted a "100" emoji to a question from The Cybertruck Guy asking if "Cyberpunk on Cybertruck" is a guarantee in CD Projekt Red's "Thank You" tweet through the "Cyberpunk 2077" official Twitter page.
Musk introduced the Cybertruck on November 21, 2019, during Tesla's promotional events in Los Angeles, California. The vehicle was deliberately designed to have a "cyberpunk" feel inspired by "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Blade Runner" films, per aCNBCarticle.
The truck has some futuristic features that come with its look: Tesla plans to install its advanced driver-assist features in the Cybertruck along with an optional "self-driving" package worth $7,000, meaning that the Cybertruck can drive for you while you relax and enjoy the ride, provided you're still paying attention to the road.
Although Musk announced that the Cybertruck's production would be delayed until 2023, people interested in reserving a unit can do so at Tesla's Cybertruck page for $100.
But, enough about the truck. Let's talk about why we're here.
A closer look at the vehicle's interior reveals that the Cybertruck can sit six people--a feature familiar to pick-up truck owners, per Carwow. However, what's unfamiliar to them is the 17-inch touchscreen at the front of the car's interior, where a regular vehicle's radio and air conditioning controls would have been.
Musk could be thinking of two possibilities: giving passengers the ability to play "Cyberpunk 2077" through the touchscreen or giving the Cybertrunk's interior a "Cyberpunk 2077" aesthetic and feel.
Playing games in a car is not out of the realm of possibility. Toyota previously pitched the concept of "cars as entertainment spaces" during its presentation of the Sony Vision-S 02.
The Sony Vision-S 02 is one of Sony's two concept electric vehicles in its Vision-S project that would allow passengers to enjoy video games during their trip, according to Sony.

However, Musk could also be planning to make the Cybertruck's interior have a "cyberpunk" feel like the cars in "Cyberpunk 2077".
Beingavant-gardeis second nature to Musk. He mentioned that the Cybertruck's futuristic "Blade Runner"-esque look could be polarizing to some people, asElectreknoted.
Additionally, the vehicle's yoke-shaped steering looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi film or from one of the "Cyberpunk 2077" cars.
Although either option is possible, we're betting Musk would be doing the latter option as it fits his personality more.
This isn't the first time Elon Musk and "Cyberpunk 2077" were mentioned together.
Gamers worldwide were surprised to see what could be an Musk cameo during the events at the beginning of the game. A Cnet article mentioned that choosing the "corpo" background for the game's main character, V, would result in a scene where a non-playable character (NPC) would walk into V talking to a friend through his phone. Players can either have V say something to the NPC or not. Either way, the NPC walks away without any fuss.
The NPC didn't look like Musk initially, but Cnet noted that he unmistakably does have Musk's likeness once he turned to the side. Musk may have teased his cameo in the game a day after the Cybertrunk reveal, replying "See ya in 2077" after Cyberpunk 2077 commented "We had a deal, Elon" on Musk's tweet saying "Nobody *expects* the cybertruck."
Musk may also have taken inspiration from "Cyberpunk 2077" for the Cybertrunk's design. Aside from his "100" emoji comment, he commented "Great game" on CD Projekt Red's Thank You tweet for the game.
