Musk is the perfect example of "money can't buy happiness" and one of the worst things to ever happen to America.

 

[Kacho]

Nothing like a good Elon thread to get some Two Minutes Hate going.

 

[Zacfoldor]

GAF when someone posts anything Musk:

 

[thefool]

It's just gaming.
I'm sure he can assemble a group of talented devs. Hopefully something good comes out of it.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Wait, people hate when there is some hint of AI art in some game and now love Elon getting on board in a company where they will abuse AI everywhere?

 

[Lambogenie]

Games are great. The Asian stuff.
Never really cared for western creativity in general.

[Edder1]

Definitely sounds like someone that thinks they know what they're talking about but has no clue about game development, how it works, how to make it successful, etc.

Also, AI? Come on man, lmao.

And he knew about cars, building space rockets and neuro science? Musk has proven that one can succeed in any business as long as you appoint right people and manage them well. If anything, managing videogame company is probably one of the easier things Musk will do.

For all we know he could just be trolling or saying something to provoke people, all will depend wether he has passion for this project. Making games is a hard business and it takes many years to see return on investment, so really this can only work of he is passionate about it, which none of us know if that's the case.

 

[Kacho]

I wonder what score IGN will give his AI game

 

[Orpheus]

Dump on/praise Elon Musk and AI gaming, etc. all you want, but if you feel the need to post about Nazis, Trump or anything political, just don't. Focus on the gaming aspect, please.

 

[KTT]

Instead of having my judgment ready immediately, I always prefer to wait for reality to unfold a bit before drawing conclusions. In any case.

That´s what certain political extremists said when he bought twitter. Now it´s working with less resources than ever, making a bigger profit with less advertisers.

Nowadays, even the most supposedly based games have some woke in them. So it´s a great opportunity to make money from the majority of gamers who don´t want political lectures in their games.

 

[Jesb]

I wanna see him enter the console business and not allow any games that are woke.

 

[Jigsaah]

Just make deepdive gear like Ready Player One.

 

[Boss Mog]

His overdose can't come soon enough.

Wishing him dead huh... the MDS is getting out of hand on GAF it seems.

 

[Itchy Tickles]

Fuck him straight to fuckery. If it actually happens that he spends more money trying to get friends and be liked, it'll be another studio ignored with nothing lost. What a sad little rat.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Starts game studio, takes picture of the dev team. Literally all of them are guys.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

fElon

Isn´t there a girl right by his side? Or is my sight deceiving me?

 

[Sintoid]

He's looking for assholes across every kind of media

 

[Quartermuncher]

Yawn. Let me know if he ever makes something half as good as Dragon Age Veilguard.

 

[delirium trigger]

Say what you want about him, but he's got a solid record of getting shit done. This could actually turn into something solid.

 

[JerryinSoCal]

I am so sick of this clown thinking he's the savior of everything.

 

[ExtendEmbraceExtinguish]

No problem with woke but bring back the masculine energy. Aka Conan and red Sonia could be any race but do not change Conan nor Sonia’s body & personalities.

Bruh, no game is safe from being twisted into political expression by creative humans, even ping pong could be spun into a metaphor for class struggle or international diplomacy.

Pac-Man = Consumerism
Super Mario Bros. = Monarchy & Class Struggle
Dark Souls = The cycles of a Corrupt System
Animal Crossing = Debt & Economic Exploitation
Call of Duty = Military-Industrial Complex
Portal = Corporate Control & The Ethics of AI

There’s no limit to grievances that exist only in the mind.

 

[JerryinSoCal]

Musk is the perfect example of "money can't buy happiness" and one of the worst things to ever happen to America.

He's also very lucky we don't allow Chinese cars to be sold in America or Tesla would be out of business, they do electric cars better and cheaper. Our whole auto industry is lucky for that matter. I'm not advocating for Chinese cars to be sold here either it's just that he gets a TON of money from the government and his businesses are protected here.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

That's Body Type A

Spoiler: Here's Body Type B

 

[Cert.in.Death]

How’s your Tesla Solar roof treating you?

 

[Bieren]

Their games are going to be pump and dump crap that would never make the news if it wasn't for being from lord musk. And, they will also all require an X premium account to play.

 

[a'la mode]

I am so sick of this clown thinking he's the savior of everything.

He's really the type that thinks he's the smartest person in the room at all times, believes he can do anything, full of himself buying into his own fake myth of a genius.

Can't wait for him to fuck up gaming with his AI trash, just like he does with anything else he puts his personal touch on. The Cyberstuck of Gaming will be glorious!

 

[nkarafo]

I like the idea but i don't trust this studio will ever make any good games.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Here's hoping for an Ender's Game-esque Kerbal Space Program knock off where we're tricked into paying for the opportunity to crowd refine Space-X designs, disguised as a game.

 

[delirium trigger]

You know he basically replaced nasa, lol.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

“One of my favorite features of our new game is the auto play mode! You can play through the entire game and never see any of it or get any good but still be able to go online and boast about it!”

 

[Spiral1407]

I say let him try. It would be really funny watching him blow millions on AI slop that no-one will play.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

VR Pull out simulator

 

[KimDongHwan]

Say what you want about him, but he's got a solid record of getting shit done. This could actually turn into something solid.

Is crazy how many people would see what he has accomplished and either think its easy, its luck and/or it wasn't done by him. It happens with anyone that gets to be "too" successful, the defensive reaction has to be "its impossible, he is cheating".

But anyways, only time will tell if he is able to produce a single good game

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Cringiest mf on the planet.


He has no ‘gamer cred’ whatsoever. Cheats to get on top of leaderboards. And his Elden Ring loadout is still a hilarious meme to this day.

 

[nemiroff]

Here's a name for your studio Musk:

The PR Nightmare Productions

Anyway, if I saw this guy drowning, I'd help. What a fucking clown...

 

[Idleyes]

Expertise in one field doesn’t automatically translate to another, just as incompetence in one area doesn’t negate competence elsewhere. Emotionally compelling yet logically flawed arguments might thrive on the internet, but relying on them for real-life business decisions would be foolish. I don't think Rod is a fool but he sure does thinks his followers are.

 

[Roberts]

Good luck hiring any talented developers, Elon. I heard Mark Kern needs a job.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

You know he basically replaced nasa, lol.

Why hasn’t he cut any of his own SpaceX contracts as wasteful?

 

[RoadHazard]

I will greatly enjoy seeing this fail spectacularly.

Elon has no expertise in any of those fields. He has money. Other people are doing the smart stuff.

Ah yes. Making a game studio to pump outs handful of AI generated slop is what is going to save gaming

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I mean, I’m always hopeful for great new games, but I’m not overly optimistic in this case.

Making a bigger profit? Twitter has absolutely tanked in value since he bought it.

 

[Strategize]

Why does this moron think gamers like him? Fuck off tourist, leave us alone.
