twitter is probably the best thing to happen for spacex, testla and other companies lol. He just spends all his time shitposting.

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.

It's risk assessment.

If you have a startup and someone offers you 9 figures so they're the CEO and you still run the day to day...

You'd be an idiot to risk it, because any number of billion dollar companies can fuck you over thru innumerable ways.

So every once and a while someone with shit tier risk assessment lucks out and suddenly becomes unimaginable rich. And those are the people making offers on the next generation of startups.

The system is set up so the worst people possible run shit. Because no sane person would keep "letting it ride" to the point they make billions, and a crazy person who does becomes too big to fail. And once they get to that point, they've convinced themselves no one else is smart enough to play Russian roulette 100 times in a row.

At that point they've conned themselves into really believing they're geniuses who know more than anyone.

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.

Don't forget, he knows more about ~~manufacturing~~ game development than anyone currently alive on earth.

Him and Todd Howard would get along

I mean, it sounds like he might've found the industry that really matches his way of ~~not~~ working.

Saving Private Gunther

From one of the most respected individuals to an absolute joke of a man in a few years.

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.

You play as doge and collect dogecoins to spend on memes. The game is called X and it runs a crypto miner on your gpu when you play it (you get coins in game, Elon gets coins in real life).

You can pay for X premium for $10/month which unlocks cosmetics and lets you access the members-only chatroom

Considering the growth he's experienced from his 20s to now, he'll probably try and make a Quake 2 clone.

I mean he already said the word AI which means he is going to likely favor output volume over the love indie devs and old companies poured into their games. So chances are very slim. Knowing him, I guess the game will be about some genius who tries to save the world and go to Mars and be the sole male responsible for repopulation. So yeah, it might turn into a Larry game which takes itself too seriously.

He's made it abundantly clear how much he despises the entire concept of labor, of having to pay money to people to do the things that actually make a company work. He will not be able to build a company that actually makes games with that kind of disdain for the single most important resource required to make them. And his strategy of acquiring an existing company and gutting it afterwards won't be nearly as effective in the games industry, where you have to be continuously producing NEW content.

I loved it when Amazon, Google, and Netflix got into the gaming industry and tried to throw billions of dollars and their startup software expertise to "revolutionize" game studios.

Releasing even bad games is already a feat. Considering how Musk doesn't know how to run a web development company I would be surprised if his "game studio" releases anything. The only way that company releases anything is if Musk won't be involved, and we know the "expert at everything" will be involved.

"Elon Musk is gonna make you his bitch."

But this time, actually true if you buy his games.

Let's not forget: he's not making shit. He's gonna pay some poor fucks a pittance (if he decides to pay them at all) to make a lousy fps or whatever
