Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on the recent No Kings protests, aligning himself with the sentiments of Andrew Ryan, the character from the Bioshock series. In his post, he mentioned, “No gods or kings, only men”.

This statement has not been received well by Bioshock fans, many of whom pointed out that Andrew Ryan was actually portrayed as a villain, not a hero. Fans reacted on various social media platforms, criticizing Musk’s apparent misunderstanding of the game’s narrative and themes.
