Deus Ex has a lot of writers. We don't know what each contributed, dialogue themes or story
Grossman is currently writing Marvel-tier Superhero shit. His comments are also really immaculately surface level
In a 2022 report by The Independent, Deus Ex writer Austin Grossman was scathing about Musk’s infatuation with the game, bluntly comparing him to its villains ‘except that the franchise doesn’t have any villains as whiny and self-servingly delusional as he’s shown himself to be.’
Grossman’s feelings clearly haven’t changed in the past three years. During an interview with PC Gamer, Grossman touched upon how Deus Ex’s political themes of transhumanism appeal to someone like Musk, who thoroughly misunderstands them.
‘That kind of political weight and social satire is a real common thread between Deus Ex and Dishonored,’ said Grossman (who was also a writer on Dishonored). ‘It is the thing that Elon Musk likes, creepily. It is creepily in Elon Musk’s worldview. So that may be its longest, worst legacy.
‘It’s bizarre that Elon Musk would not recognise where he actually sits in the Deus Ex universe because it is not in the JC Denton role.’
