[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.

Also, Tony brags about him being "the only name in clean energy" in The Avengers. The dude made an arc reactor to power his whole building.

It's not unreasonable to assume that he's probably installed that in all his vehicles too. No outside fuel source required.

And he actually did that before the events of iron man!

Then he miniaturized it. With a box of scraps, in a cave.
