The relationship between the villains of the Calamar and Elon Musk game
In statements to Time, the Creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk He confessed that he found parallels between the characters and Musk, who leads the companies Tesla, Spacex and X, in addition to being news for his work with the current president of the United States, Donald Trump.
“Elon Musk is everywhere lately, right? Everyone talks about him,” said Hwang. “Not only is he the director of a gigantic technology company that controls almost everyone, but is also a true showman. After writing the third season, of course I thought: ‘Wow, some VIP look a bit like Elon Musk’”

He also added that the decision that some VIP were revealed and participated in the games themselves arose from the political climate in the United States. “Before, those who really controlled the system and maintained power hid behind the curtain, almost like a great invisible conspiracy,” he explained.
However, it is no longer, especially in the United States. Lately we talk a lot about oligarchy, but these supposed owners of the great technological ones take a step forward and tell everyone who they support with their money. Those who really control power and the system no longer hide behind a curtain. The mask is removed voluntarily, almost as if they said: “We are the ones who control everything. We are the ones who have control.”
The third season of the squid game is now available on Netflix.
