The world's first trillionaire. Likely father to dozens of children with various women, based on unusual ideology. Runs a spaceship company. Penchant for extreme politics and fascination with nazism. Pulls strings at the highest levels of government. Weird-looking, with a foreign (ie: foreign to Great Britain) accent.

"Mr Bond, you are seated in a top of the line Tesla Cybertruck. I have plotted a course on its navigation system to my Optimus robot testing facility."

The vehicle's electrical engine silently sprang to life. James thrust his hand out to pull the door latch... but there was no door latch.

Musk's disembodied voice now chuckled a strange, halting laugh - like an adolescent boy with a cigar habit.

"There are no door handles in a Tesla car, Mr Bond! I have always found door handles so inelegant. Now pay attention: in a few minutes, the Cybertruck will arrive at its destination. We are currently training a team of Optimus robots to serve as ranch hands - they are handy with a bull whip"

Bond villains are rarely (almost never these days, I think) state actors; crazy billionaire is a more popular choice.
