While Elonās 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 āinsistā on being included in the game. āThe studio guys were like sweating,ā Grimes is quoted as saying. Musk adds āI told them that I was armed but not dangerousā.
Apparently, the developers relented at the time, though itās unclear if Musk did actually get the cameo in the end.
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if itās gaming you can probably discuss it here!

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 thereās a massive cultural difference around guns between the UK and the US, but Iām genuinely struggling to see how āa man has turned up to our studio with a gun because he wants us to put him in our gameā doesnāt warrant a call to the police.
Itās unclear if this even happened in the US; CD Projekt is Polishā¦
Also consider that the gun wan apparently, no shit, a flintlock pistol. They may have thought it was a prop or something.
