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.

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…

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.

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.
