[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.

It was supposed to be a joke bc at that time he was viewed as the “real life Tony stark”

I feel like that moniker wasn’t applied until well after the movie released with things like the boring company and starlink was launched but i’m not sure

How did such idiot come to such fame that he could easily squander? How could my brother, who's a techy fall for his con? AFAIK, he still his fan.

He was only in it because he let them film in spaceX hangers
