    From the mind behind the design of the Cybertruck and naming his website X. God that’s going to be some grade A cringe.

    His games will fail so hard it isn’t funny. The only people who speak positively of his games are his fans who will buy them and play them for only 10 seconds (and never again) before gushing about how cool they are.

    Musk’s grift is to portray himself as a some kind of “rebel” against the establishment and elites, as a “good guy”, even though he belongs to the elites as a billionaire.

    Isn’t this moron still playing Diablo 4? Can’t say that gives me much confidence in his greatness. I’d also bet both nuts that his games feature microtransactions as their core mechanic.

      The game will cost you 90$ to start, but you need to continually be paying money to play it. He will claim it is an authentic 90s online game because in some places back then, you paid for the internet per minute of use.

    Call his bluff. Get him away from politics and let him spend the next eight years building the next Balan Wonderworld with cameos from Joe Rogan and Donald Trump.

    Better yet, let him collab with Peter Molyneux, and Musk will be bankrupt before the game is released.

    This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.

    On the bright side there’s about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry’s seen plenty of attempts already

    And if it’s good then ill just pirate it :3

      Just because it’s bad don’t mean that it won’t make money hand over fist. Look at everything Disney produces.

        Making money from a slightly smaller pile of money is easy.

        Making ever more money from increasingly smaller piles of money is hard, and that’s what they all career headlong towards for no discernable reason whatsoever.

      I’m pretty sure he thinks that if no one is paying attention to him he ceases to exist.

      If he wasn’t such a social hazard his pitiful, immature, and downright pathetic personality would make for great satire content.
