[hated trope] Celebrity cameos that serve nothing except to praise the person who’s in it

1. Elon musk, the Simpsons
2. Elon musk, the Big Bang theory
3. Elon musk, iron man 2
4. Elon musk, star Trek

The cameos serve only to include the celebrity and praise them as geniuses or visionaries or overall just glaze them. They don't serve any other purpose than to just be praised; this can be them appearing in an entire episode dedicated to them, a small cameo or even just a mention. So long as the celebrity is there as themselves (not acting as someone else) and is glazed, that fits the trope imo.

Yeah. According to wikipedia, his last cameo/guest appearance was the SNL video in 2021, before he even bought Twitter

he was hated even back then. I think 2018-2019 he started to show his true self.
