Tony Stark treats him like a Putz in Iron Man 2. Not sure that's what Musk was going for.
it’s really bizarre how obviously forced the propaganda is, looking back:
given how utterly, sickly-sweet positive his latter cameos are, Musk was probably pissed at his Iron Man 2 cameo and had a few new clauses written into his contract with the studios going forward. as for why the crew’s attitude toward Musk seemed to change between the first and second films, my theory is: according to reputation and second-hand experience, Musk has always been a fucking asshole in person. he probably burned out the crew’s good will quickly, and they just wanted to be rid of him.
Wait he pulled a Trump?
pretty much! for a very similar length and style of cameo too
I think it was SpaceX, not Tesla, but yeah... boring AF warehouse.
it takes craft to make a rocket lab look boring, assuming it was intentional and not the result of an adult coming into the room and reminding Musk that none of the government secrets should be on film
No one wants to hang out with their dealer more than is absolutely necessary.
