Musk says he’s going to launch an “AI game studio” at his xAI startup.

Good thing I’ve always wondered “what if someone did an Activision, but worse?”
I’ll be pissed if elon starts pumping out good games. I don’t count on it but looking at the market it’s not impossible.
How about we hang that fuckwad in a public forum instead?
Just when I thought he couldn’t get any edgier with a black MAGA hat, I noticed the font he used….
…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.
So the next greatest game will just be “around the corner” and “nearly complete” every year for decades then?
Him and Todd Howard would get along
Don’t forget, he knows more about
manufacturinggame development than anyone currently alive on earth.I mean, it sounds like he might’ve found the industry that really matches his way of
notworking.
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.
He is the most unlikeable twat on the planet.
Somehow, simultaneously “The world’s little brother” and “the most divorced man, ever”
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.
The good thing about this is that all his money can’t buy a good result. Each game has to stand on its own two feet. If it costs millions to make, and still sucks, it will sink without a trace.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Talented people fail to make a career in gaming. Idc how many mines his daddy owned, he’s not going to make a good game. Although we should encourage him to do it. Making games would obviously waste the time he uses to harass people.
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
Sure but he is also a micromanaging dipshit, the more bullshit he has the less focused he is overall.
I’m sure he’ll do it right after launching Hyperloop
