3 reasons why 'Succession' tech bro Lukas Matsson is Elon Musk crossed with Daniel Ek
The very last episode of"Succession" airs Sunday night on HBO and we'll finally learn if Swedish tech mogul Lukas Matsson does win control of the Roy family's media empire.
Alexander Skarsgard plays Matsson, the billionaire CEO of tech streaming media giant GoJo – a socially awkward, vaguely sinister tech bro. Just as the on media power players like the Murdochs, Matsson shares many similarities with major figures in the tech world.Matsson is based on an"amalgamation" of different tech figures. But viewers have been pointing out the character's similarities to two bosses in particular — Elon Musk, and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek."I definitely didn't try to play an Elon Musk character," Skarsgard said.
"I'm sure I've been inspired by some things I've seen [Elon] do and other tech giants do, but I didn't go for that type of character."Many viewers also see Matsson's Scandinavian roots as a nod to Daniel Ek, the Swede who founded Spotify and became a billionaire. Ek was young when he founded the popular streaming platform, and like Matsson, he appears to have much bigger ambitions. Matsson wants to control a media empire with global influence.
The GoJo chief struck a deal with Logan Roy to acquire his media company, Waystar Royco, before his death. In the fourth and final season, Logan's sons Roman and Kendall have been attempting to kill the deal.
