Elon Musk's Gun-Wielding Demand for a 'Cyberpunk 2077' Cameo

TL;DR Summary
According to Walter Isaacson's new biography on Elon Musk, the billionaire crashed one of Grimes' recording sessions for the video game Cyberpunk 2077, wielding a 200-year-old gun, and demanded a cameo in the game. The developers eventually gave in, and Musk ended up voicing a character named V, who is the boyfriend/manager of Grimes' character, Lizzy Wizzy. The game features a side quest where players are hired to surveil V, and it ends with the revelation that Musk's character plans to backup Lizzy Wizzy's consciousness and remove her "undesirable traits." Grimes' character ultimately murders Musk's character in the game.
