Elon Musk gatecrashed a Cyberpunk 2077 recording session with an antique gun and asked for a role if a new biography is supposed to be believed. Walter Isaac’s new biography Elon Musk reveals that during Cyberpunk 2077's development, Elon Musk begged developer CD Projekt Red to give him a cameo. He interrupted his on-again, off-again partner and mother of his three kids Grimes’ voice acting sessions with a gun, Walter Isaac’s new biography titled, Elon Musk reveals. Many have speculated that the vintage gun is the replica flintlock pistol Musk keeps on his bedside table (as seen on an Instagram video).
Isaacson shares in his book that while Grimes was recording lines for a murder-bot named Lizzy Wizzy, in Cyberpunk 2077, Musk 'showed up at the studio wielding a two-hundred-year-old gun. Musk has reportedly told Isaacson that the game appealed to him because it uses cybernetic implants, considering he himself has attempted to create a human brain chip, named Neurolink.

He (Musk) Is Not Great At Reading The Room: Grimes
"When Grimes was doing the voice recordings for the cyborg pop star she played in the video game Cyberpunk 2077, he showed up at the studio wielding a two-hundred-year-old gun and insisted that they give him a cameo," reads the memoir, written by Walter Isaacson. “The studio guys were like sweating,” Grimes told Isaacson. “I told them that I was armed but not dangerous,” Musk explained to Isaacson.
Isaacson also shared some details about Musk's time at the VA session. “His son Saxon [...] had recently asked an offbeat question that resonated: ‘Why doesn’t the future look like the future?’” Isaacson writes. “Musk would quote Saxon’s question repeatedly.” “He’s not good at reading the room,” Grimes said. “My favorite version of E is the one who’s down for Burning Man and will sleep on a couch, eat canned soup, and be chill.” Put the gun down, man. Musk did manage a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077, as a bathroom orderly from the game’s Corpo intro. However, it's not clear whether he was given the minor role because of the incident involving the gun.
