Here are all of the Elon Musk cameos in different movies and TV shows.
1. Iron Man 2
His ten-second cameo in Iron Man 2 was probably his most famous, where he says one line to Tony Stark. Elon Musk is practically an Iron Man in real life, which is why this cameo was a perfect fit.
Musk mentions that he has an idea for an “electric jet”, met with the response “You do? Then we'll make it work.” from Stark.

The next Elon Musk Cameo was in the film Machete Kills, a sci-fi film. At the very end, we see Musk farewelling Machete as he boards the SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.0 rocket, beginning a journey for a Station in Earth’s orbit.
