He is not upset. He's being coy to show that he's reluctant to accept it, when in reality it is exactly what he wants. If he's too eager, he'll confirm the suspicions of Cassius et al and they would be able to raise enough public ire to successfully oppose him. It's better for him to play his cards close to his chest at this point and wait for his position to be stronger before making an overt power grab.

3 times
The crown was offered to Julius Caesar three times as part of a political maneuver by Mark Antony during the Lupercalia festival in 44 BCE. This act was intended to gauge public reaction and Caesar's own willingness to accept the title of king, which many Romans opposed due to their disdain for monarchy. Caesar's refusal of the crown, each time, was likely a strategic choice to maintain his popularity while subtly indicating his desire for power. Ultimately, it highlighted the tension between his ambitions and the Roman Republic's values.

In Shakespeare's play, Casca tells Brutus that Antony offered Caesar a crown (a coronet) because the people clamored that Caesar should be king. He says that Caesar refused it three times, each time less vigorously. Caesar, although desiring absolute power, spurns the classic role of "king" which the populace might see as a dominating or oppressive force, and cultivates a role as "friend of the people" in contrast to the aristocratic Senate.
In William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," Antony offers the crown to Caesar three times during the Lupercal festival. Each time, Caesar refuses the crown, displaying his reluctance to accept the title of king, despite his ambition. These refusals serve to highlight his complex relationship with power and the public's perception of him. Ultimately, his behavior contributes to the political tensions that lead to his assassination.
Antony says, "You all did see upon the Lupercal, I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse." Thrice means three times, in the same way that twice means two times.
Certainly not! The whole point of the exercise was to prove to the Roman people that he would not under any circumstances accept the position of king. In the minds of the Romans, the title of king was tarnished by the memory of the tyrant Tarquin Superbus who was overthrown when the Republic was first set up. Caesar was in fact the dictator of the state and held powers just as broad as those of a king, but the people would not mind, as long as he did not call himself a king. Antony later plays on this event: "You all did see upon the Lupercal, I thrice presented him a kingly crown which he did thrice refuse. Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?"
