Musk says he’s going to launch an “AI game studio” at his xAI startup.
Elon’s companies have been successful despite his input, not because of it. If you’re interested, do some reading on how middle-management protected their teams from his nonsense in both Tesla and SpaceX, basically just feeding him bullshit that sounded good and ignoring him whenever possible. Those people are why the companies have thrived.
Shit, just look at Twitter before and after. The valuation difference is staggering.
twitter is probably the best thing to happen for spacex, testla and other companies lol. He just spends all his time shitposting.
Not to mention all the preference he will show his own companies because of the appointment buying Twitter got him.
I tell people this all the time. There are people who have the job of distracting musk like a 3 year old. They don’t believe it and continue to worship him. They act like he personally invented everything and refuse to accept the truth. The only thing he actually invented was the cybertruck.
Did he actually invent the Cybertruck? He drew the world’s shittiest picture that was all straight lines and then made a bunch of toddler-level claims about its abilities while demanding results from the teams of real people that actually had to make his nonsense even somewhat functional.
People who deserve the title of inventor actually do the fucking work. He just said “and it’ll be invincible and climb over mountains and can pull GOD and be SO COOL”
I read this whole article by some truck review guy? And he was confused because he said the cyber truck came within a hair of filling a niche in the truck world that was pretty much free to take, but just narrowly ended up being in a much better established range of trucks that it had no hope in competing in. So yeah… he did all the demanding and none of the thinking, and everyone else was just there for the paycheck.
The niche was what the Rivian and fuck, even the F150 Lightning are doing. The Cybertruck looks like ass and I could almost say the appearance is “kinda neat for trying something different” if it wasn’t such a dogshit product in every single way.
Yeah that sounds about right. From a pure business standpoint it’s an error in every way.
I can’t help but laugh every time I see one, and in the occasional instance that the owners actually pay attention to the world around them and notice, they always glare at me 😂 they know exactly how fucking stupid they look, they just try to pretend nobody agrees
I had a boss like that once. Yes, it can be done.
But the bottom line is they still think they’re great and everything will go on.
That is very harmful to society.
Shotwell is an amazing person for operating SpaceX to such success, despite all of Elon’s efforts to the contrary, like trying to cancel Falcon Heavy.
I’m sure he’ll do it right after launching Hyperloop
…wait, actually this has the potential to be amazing! I remember the early days of online gaming, and gamers for the most part were some of the most welcoming and friendly people I’ve ever been around.
Something changed, and ‘gamer’ became a toxic word, and all but niche gaming communities kinda went to shit.
If Elon makes some cringe-ass MMO or something, it will act as a sponge to soak up all the toxic assholes from other gaming communities.
Do it.
AI slop coming to ruin your favorite IPs in the very near future.
Then let’s get ready for a ww2 game where you save Nazis instead of killing them. And then you shoot the American troops and call them “woke libs” /s
Saving Private Gunther
How about we hang that fuckwad in a public forum instead?
“Can I take your coat? your shoes? your… swastikas??”
So the next greatest game will just be “around the corner” and “nearly complete” every year for decades then?
Don’t forget, he knows more about
manufacturinggame development than anyone currently alive on earth.Cyberdaikatana
Him and Todd Howard would get along
I know Todd gets a lot of hate, and some of it is deserved, but… c’mon. Just no.
I mean, it sounds like he might’ve found the industry that really matches his way of
notworking.
Ah yes, gaming. That one industry you can’t really fake past a certain point or everyone will boycott, call it boring or go on strike?
Perfect. Good decisions. Waste as much money as possible. I hope Ubisoft is in on it. Take as many shit-for-brains publishers and devs as you can gather. They forget half of the industry is wearing knee-high socks and cat ears. Propaganda games will go over like trying to sell kale to a shark.
Cannot wait for him to start putting out soon to be classic titles like “Ethnic Cleansing”, “Concentration Camp Simulator”, and “Deportation Station” to counter the woke libtards.
/S
Doesn’t he know Epic Games studio already exists? The market for grand-standing self-righteous game-makers is pretty tapped at this point.
They might actually get along. The CEOs of both happen to be hypocritical asswipes who think providing a worse product and complaining about competition will give them the monopoly they’re pretending to not want.
Just when I thought he couldn’t get any edgier with a black MAGA hat, I noticed the font he used….
The “yes I’m 110% a Nazi in case every other time I told you I’m a Nazi didn’t come through” font.
I can’t even begin to imagine how fucking lame and cringe a game made by Elon Musk would be. Much less how buggy and unplayable.
Considering the growth he’s experienced from his 20s to now, he’ll probably try and make a Quake 2 clone.
He should make a meta verse. I still won’t buy it, but having 2 of them completely fall flat because a billionaire thought they knew what entertainment was would almost be as funny as that time Sony re-released Morbius in theaters.
I mean, sure, go ahead.
It’s one of the most benign things he does and it’s not like it’s gonna affect existing good game.
Good thing I’ve always wondered “what if someone did an Activision, but worse?”
