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.

It's unclear if this even happened in the US; CD Projekt is Polish...

Also consider that the gun wan apparently, no shit, a flintlock pistol. They may have thought it was a prop or something.

I have shot and killed a deer with a flintlock gun. They're not toys or props. He committed assault with a deadly weapon and the whole word is just like "Oh, that's just wish.com iron man. You know how he is."

I don't think the Polish are more likely to be fine with having a gun waved at them than any other nationality.

Grimes would have recorded at a studio in the US along with the other English language voice actors.

The English voice recordings for Cyberpunk 2077 were all done in London and LA. So it's basically sure that it wasn't Poland, and it's much more likely that it was LA than London in this case.

I assume it happened at a recording or mo-cap studio in the states.
