Elon Musk: It would be fun and interesting to do to start a video game studio

I hope he creates a AAA studio and puts Chris Avellone in charge.
Musk is a huge Diablo fan.

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
Total waste. I'd rather he focus on non-entertainment technology.

Man, I would love if he got out of politics and got into gaming instead. This industry needs a savior.

Wasn’t he at Atari in his younger days?

Yeah but I can guarantee it’d be an extraction shooter.

There are but they have been shunned/rejected by the major Blackrock funded studios.

Anyone who knows anything about Elon Musk or has seen Microsoft's attempts at creating game IP knows this would be a complete disaster.
Everything that holds Microsoft back in gaming, Elon would present on steroids...

I could see it being some sort of High on Life type game that's whole schtick is his brand of slapstick comedy and trying to be edgy and anti-woke
Ironically most of the reason for most of any sales it would get would be his identity

That sounds absolutely correct. Give me more game direction like Space Marine 2 without the woke BS. Forcing characters and situations base on wokeness just doesn't work.

You know he'd moneyhat the fuck out of everything and you'd all be furious.
I've got a better idea, why doesn't he just fuck off?

Even moneyhatting, he'd push people out of the company and the talent would all be gone. He'd end up outsourcing much of the work to Malyasia just to get games out, but they'd still be delayed years. He would start games over because he saw some cool tech and the budgets would spiral out of control.
He would bring zero value to gaming.

I'm buying multiple when they release.
I also primarily use FSD for driving (that is helping to train the robots).

Ironic, he's an African immigrant, the embodiment of DEI.

If there’s anyone I’d trust doing a space game, that would be him.
Good publicity too.

Dude's been leeching off billions of taxpayer dollars from government subsidies for electric cars, renewable energy, and NASA contracts. A true welfare queen.

What? I think you are ignorant about what DEI means. If Elon only got hired based on his nation of origin then you might have a point.

He's innovated and revolutionized every one of those industries. Actual tax payer dollars well spent for once.

He would attempt to make a hero shooter in an effort to get microtransaction money.

This is a LOT of hours in a seasonal diablo 4 character and the season just started. If Musk focused 5% of his autism beam on a gaming company they could do something incredible IMO because he would hire the right people and fund the hell out of it.

Fuck off.

They just caught a fucking rocket and my car doesn't even require me to touch the steering wheel when driving anymore....which I use all the time I barely even touch the wheel anymore, maybe 2% of my driving.
Like him or not, the companies he's operating are achieving insane results.

Dude almost single-handedly made the electric car industry a reality, then went on to build a rocket that could take people to space without depending on Russia. And did it years faster than Boeing (who was considered the obvious front runner while Spacex was a long shot).
I don’t care if the guy is an asshole and says weird things sometimes.
