Top 10 Elon Musk Cameos! From Iron Man 2 To The Epstein Files

Everyone’s favourite billionaire sure does get around! With his distinctive good looks and bitingly witty sense of humor, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has really cemented himself as a globally recognisable pop culture figure!

Well, today we’re ranking his dips into the world of movies, TV and the personal emails of notorious pedophiles and sex traffickers. So read on below to see the top 10 of Elon Musk best celebrity appearances!

Iron Man 2

Back when Elon was known as a billionaire-playboy-philanthropist and nothing else, the South-African reportedly partially inspired Robert Downey Jr.’s depiction of Tony ‘Ironman’ Stark. The connection led to Muskman having a brief appearance in the second movie. IN the scene Elon is named and says that he has a good idea for an electric jet before being blown off by Stark. Haha, classic Elon!

The Epstein Files

Not quite as cool as being in a superhero movie but likely a more memorable performance! Elon Musk is featured prominently as a close penpal of the disgraced New York financier, Jeffrey Epstein. In the emails Musk repeatedly asks to join one of Jeff’s many parties. Isn’t he happy that that’s one cameo he wasn’t able to make happen!

Rick and Morty

Although not actually featured as himself, Elon Musk plays a brand new hilarious character in this wacky space adventure called, Elon Tusk! Get it! Hahaha, and the fun doesn’t end there because Elon Tusk gets up to some hilarious hijinks along the way! Click here to buy a VHS copy of the episode to watch at home. (we do get money from that by the way)

The Simpsons

Now this one can hardly be called a cameo since Elon has effectively an entire episode dedicated to him! In The Simpsons episode, The Musk Who Fell to Earth (Season 26, Episode 12), Elon crash lands into Springfield and then builds a power plant or something? Idk, I watched it ages ago. But what I do remember is that the Simpsons family are weirdly idolising of such the man. Maybe they’re just pleased he didn’t have Tusks?

Not On Epstein’s Island, Lol

Now, here’s a sort of anti-cameo since Elon Musk famously kept getting the cold-snub to join Epstein’s orgy-parties! In his own words, “Do you have any parties planned?” Musk asked. “I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for.” It’s a shame this cameo didn’t work out and Jeffrey had to pretend that all the parties were cancelled just so Elon couldn’t cameo!

South Park, Probably

I don’t know! I’ve not seen him in South Park but I feel like whilst he was doing the cartoon cameo rounds he was probably in an episode or two! Let me google it! Oh look, yes, there he is!

The Big Bang Theory

Elon’s also in the Big Bang Theory.

Triumph of the Will

Elon Musk was featured prominently in Leni Riefenstahl’s breakout documentary covering a notorious right wing rally. As featured in the film, Musk attempts to highfive a fan in audience but unfortunately his arms weren’t long enough! Sad face emoji.

SNL

In 2021 Elon Musk hosted an episode of Saturday ‘N’ Live! Was this when comedy was made legal again? I sure hope it was since the program relies heavily on comedy! I remember this being a big deal at the time, but I can’t remember anything about it! Oh look, that’s him as Wario. OK, I vaguely remember that but I feel like other things he’s done more recently have kind of pushed this out of my mind…

Now, before we get to our finally entry I just wanted to list of Elon’s incredible cameos that didn’t make the top ten list: Thank You For Smoking, Transcendence, Why Him? (that’s the name of the film, I’m not asking, why Elon), Men in Black: International, Young Sheldon and a bunch of documentaries for some reason.
