While Elon’s then-partner Grimes was recording her part in the game as cyborg popstar Lizzy Wizzy, the erratic tech billionaire turned up with an antique firearm to “insist” on being included in the game. “The studio guys were like sweating,” Grimes is quoted as saying. Musk adds “I told them that I was armed but not dangerous”.

Apparently, the developers relented at the time, though it’s unclear if Musk did actually get the cameo in the end.

    Taking a photo of a man threatening you at gunpoint seems like a good way to get shot

      Are you guys seriously acting like Elon brought a loaded flintlock so that he could threaten an entire team of people with his one shot and then done gun?

      I think elons a dumbass, but isn’t it far more likely he was either just carrying it around with him like an idiot, or brought it hoping to get it scanned in game or something.

      Nowhere in the article does it say he pointed it at people or threatened them, in fact he openly states the opposite. Grimes saying “people were sweating” is not an indication of all the crazy things y’all are saying he did.

        I dunno man, sounds like rules for thee

        In my jurisdiction if I said I was armed and then made a demand of someone, I could get charged with a felony.
