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.

I’m in the camp that is just trying to acclimatize and mentally prepare.

Can’t be a billionaire if you pass a certain threshold of self-awareness, it’s the rules.
If Keanu was in the studio that day, someone should have said “Silverhand, arm the nuke.”
Really his most candid moment, when you think about it. “I demand you all love me” at gunpoint.
Fits his management style of “The beatings will continue until morale improves.”
What a ridiculous society we live in that someone can be so rich that they get to threaten people with a gun and don’t get arrested. What an unhinged asshole he is.
You don’t even need to be rich, being a cop is more that enough.
At least those bastards certainly aren’t rich, better than nothing I guess!
What an absolute cunt of a human being.
it’s unclear if Musk did actually get the cameo in the end.
Uh, what? How is that unclear? Is he in the game? No?? Then he didn’t “get the cameo”, even if they went so far as to map his face, etc…

I can’t recall ever seeing a Musk character; but Hideo Kojima made an appearance as himself.
For real? Where, when?
Makes sense, there are some big Cyberpunk Easter eggs in Death Stranding so he must get along with CDPR.
He is in the bar of the hotel when you first start the heist at the beginning.
I always felt like cameo was a sweet or something
There are plenty of drugged out street filth with guns in the game. You SURE he didn’t have a cameo?
Not even slightly sure. But out of all the people playing, modifying, and data-mining it, they still haven’t found an obviously Musk face somewhere…?
Some people believe he showed up briefly in one scene in the background but it was never substantiated.
“PAY ATTENTION TO ME! LOOK AT ME!”
There are so many successful people that make me not want to participate in this country.
…Because I know that if they were able to make it then this country is bullshit.
They told him to get fucked, so one of his chode toadies on xitter started a rumor that they added him to the game and then removed him in a patch.
Choadie
This is easily verified by installing an original hard copy into a xbox one with no internet. It installs a “beta” version. You know you did it correctly when the opening scene has no over dialogue just music. Every vendor stand can be interacted with and certain models can be looked at in 3d in the menus. It’s wild to play now that we’re on 2.0.
They should have put him in a game with the gun while commanding an apartheid army.
If they ended up adding him him in any way, he should be just removed. That piece of shit parasite shouldnt get any recognition anywhere. Not even negative.
What if they turned him into a drooling hobo or cyber psycho who fried his brain with a homemade implant? I could be down with that. If not, I’m counting on a mod to remove his ass.
Homeless folk are victims of a system(generally), he doesn’t deserve to be portrayed that way
He would be the victim of his implant.
I’m down with that bit for sure - would prefer the cyber psycho or just finding him as a corpse with a letter or something and some environmental storytelling. Nothing too high effort, mind. But it’d be nice to at least virtually know he fucked himself
Any mention will also preserve his name which he doesnt deserve.
Make it a subtle easter egg where a Corpo CEO packed with neural cyberwares crashed and burned in his self-driving Caliburn lol
With the assets already there, the mod opportunities are endless.
I don’t own this game and I don’t intend on buying any time soon.
But when I eventually get it, if I
thinkfind that figure in the game, I’m going after it and throw it off a very tall building. Twice.I played through the main story twice and I dont ever remember encountering a character based on Elon or a character voiced by him. His then-girlfriend Grimes has a character with a medium length side-questline, but that character isn’t based on her either. Part of the quest means “dealing with” her new boyfriend, but I didn’t really think that guy was based on Elon either.
There are a lot of corpo people in the game that you deal with, but most of them are just parodies of all billionaires, not really one in particular.
Would be shitty if he’s in Phantom Liberty though.
You did not encounter elon, a character based on him, or a character voiced by him in cyberpunk 2077
Can we kill him?
He’s violently murdered in game and you get to stuff his body in a trash chute. And you get paid for it. 10/10
I would reload that save over and over and over.
I saw a streamer do that once with a character they absolutely despised. Save, kill, reload, kill, reload, kill, reload a couple times until they finally had it out of their system.
Me with Preston in Fallout 4. Another settlement needs our help? No, Preston, I think your body no longer needs your head.
If doucheboy gets one, I’m requesting a mod to purge his ass.
