Elon Musk demanded a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 while wielding a 200 year old gun: "I was armed but not dangerous"
Walter Isaacson's new biography of Elon Musk is such a fever dream of disconnected and bizarre anecdotes about the man that you almost find yourself skimming past the brief mention of him taking
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.
Elon is literally everything Cyberpunk warns is about. He's the biggest corpocunt the world has ever seen. Arasaka is exactly what Elon wants X Corp to be. He's actually trying to make chips that get implanted into your brain. He wants his own Relic. He wants to be the immortal Saburo Arasaka.
The lack of self awareness is astounding.
So... basically, Musk turned up at a studio and threatened the devs with a gun (which antique or not, could have been loaded and functional - shooting with antique guns is a thing) to make them put him in the game?
I know there's a massive cultural difference around guns between the UK and the US, but I'm genuinely struggling to see how "a man has turned up to our studio with a gun because he wants us to put him in our game" doesn't warrant a call to the police.
What an absolute cunt of a human being.
“PAY ATTENTION TO ME! LOOK AT ME!”
Off-topic below.
Btw, I saw some posters here still use the slur "cunt".
It's my understanding that depending on which country you're from (eg Australia or UK) this slur might not carry a sexist connotation in the mainstream culture, so I don't think any of you used it with the intent of being sexist.
Nevertheless, in the feminist circles I belong to, uskng a word that describes the genitalia of AFAB as a slur carries a sexist charge whether it was the intent or not. So we try to create new slur reflexes for ourselves and tend to use other words that do not carry an offensive charge towards a discriminated category.
Please do not take this as a personal attack or an attempt to tell you how to speak, I just think we can do better as a community if everyone spots the stuff they are the more sensitive to and explains to the others why they see a problem.
On-topic. Elon, please get lost in outer space in one of your stupid rockets.
If doucheboy gets one, I’m requesting a mod to purge his ass.
The thing about being "Armed" is the fact you are indeed dangerous. As a gun is a tool with one job, to kill people.
It's not like a gun is a fashion accessory for these people..... right?
this dude has to be the corniest mf i've seen, and that's the nicest thing i have to say about him.
What a tool.
