Similar to Musk's quote that says something to the effect of life being a simulation

Musk is definitely not the original quoter of this idea. This is a long-standing theory / hypothesis.

I'm absolutely shocked that Musk would take credit for someone else's idea and pass it off as his own to make himself look good.

I don't think he was taking credit for anything when he said that. At least, I don't believe he actually claimed to be doing so. As I said, it's a longstanding theory that he was quoting.

I don't like Musk as much as the next guy, but to go as far as to say he was attempting to coin the theory is a bit of a stretch.

Musk copied that from Nick Bostrom. Also this scenario is different
