GTA 6 Leak References A Mark Zuckerberg-Inspired Character From GTA 5

According to “GTA 5” lore, Norris built LifeInvader in his parents’ pool house and subsequently earned a heck load of money by selling the information of more than a billion users to private companies and government agencies. As for his real-life inspiration, Zuckerberg is said to have created an early version of Facebook in his dorm room at Harvard University and has been grilled by privacy advocates for allowing a massive privacy scandal like Cambridge Analytica to happen in the first place. Note: “GTA 5” spoilers ahead.

In “GTA 5,” Norris is the centerpiece of a mission called Friend Request, which is yet another feature that is at the very core of how Facebook connects people across the world. As Norris is unveiling the LifeInvader mobile phone on stage during a televised event, Michael makes a voice call on his phone to trigger an explosion inside. As soon as Norris picks up his phone and says his first — and last — hello, the phone explodes and kills Norris in a rather gory fashion. It looks like Norris didn’t really die and will make a comeback in “GTA 6” with an even more intrusive brain-linked tech similar to the Elon Musk-backed Neuralink – that, or there are some conspiracy theories circling among the game’s NPCs. Speaking of Musk, rumors suggest that the world’s richest man will also be parodied in “GTA 6.”
