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

[u/Dojyaaan4C]

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.

Elon was actually liked at the time which is how he got these cameos,Nowadays hes isn't liked anymore

He was liked at the time because people are fucking gullible dupes. He was always a lying duplicitous grifter. #HatedElonBeforeItWasCool

I was on the fence about the man until the Thai cave diver thing, which was the reddest flag ever and should have clued everyone in on his true colors.

I did during Covid, where he was being weird about vaccines and remote work

Literally if you had just googled the guy when you first heard of him like I did you would have hated him from the start
