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.

OFF TOPIC:

Speaking from a feminstic but also Australian position, I think it's kinda problematic to outright ban language internationally when the connotation of concern is specific to one culture. We use that word pretty liberally here, and it isn't done so with remotely the same definition; instead, it is typically used interchangeably with "dickhead" and "arsehole". Whilst I definitely support your efforts, I don't think this is the right way to go about it, as it's a very clear use of American exceptionalism when Americans, taken as a part of the world, make up a minority of people on the Internet.

ON TOPIC:

Yeahhhh, Elon both frightens and disgusts me. What a selfish twat.

Why is calling someone a cunt sexist but calling someone a dickhead not ?

If someone thinks one is sexist and not the other, they are a moron.

It's dumb to be offended by either in my opinion.

Probably because of the "you can't be sexist against males" standpoint
