Well, this may be the biggest plug that Judge Dredd has gotten since the last film. Elon Musk posted today to social media (guess which one) saying, "Judge Dredd Would Drive A Cybertruck". Alex Jones replied "No doubt". It's been seen by quite a few people.
And a few people, potentially quite close to the old Judge himself wanted to comment. And some agreed, possibly for reasons other than intended. After all, Judge Dredd is actually meant to be the bad guy, a point missed by a fair few over the years.

And yes, if nothing else, it was an excuse for Judge Dredd writers and artists to call Elon Musk a creep, while in defensible character. He is the bad guy after all. Elon Musk wore Judge Dredd T-Shirts in his youth. We are not entirely sure how much of the subtext he got

Still, it's probably a good reason to plug Michael Molcher's book, I Am The Law, about the history of Judge Dredd and the cultural and social implications of the time that saw Judge Dredd emerge as a popular character, in which the police in South Africa, where Elon Musk, played a crucial part in his creation, and the future he pointed to. It just won an Eisner Award for Best Comic-Related Book on Friday night!
Call-Me-Kenneth would use a pair of Cybertrucks as roller skates.
