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 ā€œinsistā€ on being included in the game. ā€œThe studio guys were like sweating,ā€ Grimes is quoted as saying. Musk adds ā€œI told them that I was armed but not dangerousā€.

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

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 ā€œa man has turned up to our studio with a gun because he wants us to put him in our gameā€ doesn’t warrant a call to the police.

It’s unclear if this even happened in the US; CD Projekt is Polish…

Also consider that the gun wan apparently, no shit, a flintlock pistol. They may have thought it was a prop or something.
