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.

Plus

- Neurolink
- Catching a rocket
- Commercial space flights
- Unveiling mass market robots
- Fully Autonomous vehicles
- Building a mass transit tunnel

Hating on this dude is just weird at this point. How many times does his companies need to have resounding success before people drop this routine.

People are in serious denial at this point.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

With that kind of fuck you money, I'd imagine it'd be fun to venture into anything.

 

[Isa]

Nah how about we make normal games again instead of shifting from leftwing propaganda to rightwind propaganda, same shit, other side of the coin.

I get what you mean but having listened to his personal beliefs in interviews including recently with TC I feel he's more centrist in a lot of ways.

Personally I like the guy, he's helped startup some serious technological innovations and helps bring the costs down on hugely overspent projects ala NASA. The recent Booster catch success was awesome to see. His bringing up the Dragon Quest creators complaints from that TGS show was great in helping the story reach more eyes. And his excitement when appearing with the Don was fun to see. I'm an independent Voter who is happy to see some focus returning to local issues, anti-war, coalitions with newfound friends ala RFK Jr. and Tulsi who are passionate about health and all the chemicals and toxins in our food. Plus his recent comments on the Epstein list and why so many billionaires are worried about a Trump win is awesome.

One of the great things about Elon is he's aware of what's going on in the culture war despite his obligations. Not everybody can handle such info overload. Most hide away and remain ignorant and stick to their own microsphere of life but he sees both Macro and Micro. There's a good reason he's so successful and I'd love to see him try his hand at gaming. Some legit competition to what the west has become could be a healthy return to "normalcy".

 

[MagusMajul]

he'll make a game where he beats up mark zuckerburg

 

[MagusMajul]

Are there even any developers in the US who aren't all in on far left politics?

as far as AAA goes ID that's it

 

[reinking]

I know I made my ATARI/MAGA joke earlier in this thread but the three words that stick out to me most about Musk buying or creating a game studio, "monitization" and "development hell." This would flop as big, if not bigger than, 38 Studios.

 

[chokotoureiki]

That would be amazing if he does it. I admire this man for all he does for humanity.

I get the feeling his gaming studio will pump out RTSs about Mars terraforming, racers with Teslas, or some kind of robot post apocalyptic shooter.

 

[clem84]

An entire studio for Era to boycott.

 

[PurePlatinum]

Please no. I think Elon is an interesting guy but I'd rather him focus on cars/spaceex than just make a game studio dedicated to pleasing anti-dei chuds.

- Neurolink - This was a major failure. It killed over a thousand animals and failed in a week in the first human trial.

- Unveiling mass market robots - Those robots that were showcased in a bar were controlled by humans.
- Fully Autonomous vehicles - Tesla is currently being investigated due to deaths from self-driving cars. People are dying from them.

The guy is a piece of shit billionaire and can't run anything. His ideas are nothing new and are poorly executed.

 Garbage

I own a Tesla with FSD and Summon.

I pretty much exclusively drive with FSD for over a year now. It actually saved me from a major accident.

Stop spreading lies.

 

[nial]

He's just repeating words he's seen from Mangalawyer's posts on X™. It's a cute thing to say for some Gamer points here and there, but he won't be wasting his time for shit like this.

…You should check his tweet history, just to be sure.

I follow the guy there. The overton window has shifted so far to the left over the years that now old dems like Trump are now "far right" lol. He's just a 80's-90's dem policy wise. Elon Musk isn't some religious conservative or anything and is typically science first but roughly believes in a higher power. I used to be a leftist too, whatever that used to mean. Feminist to a point but so much progressivism has actually been detrimental to women's rights and dignity that I believe bad actors have been abusing the liberties granted to them. Simple stuff like Male or female options, learning about what's going on with open border immigration and the billions spent on them as well as the crime associated, dem policy to move said migrants to red states that in turn shift the local culture and even create new congressional seats for the new census. There is a lot more, and basic stuff like having voter ID is and should be required in my opinion.

We could go on and on but yeah, I follow the guy and overall like his opinions. Knowing climate stuff but not an extremist, not wanting population decline but growth, encouraging new families etc. I'm no cultist same with Drumpf but I like and support them while recognizing that they just like every other human is imperfect.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Sounds awful.

Teslas are cool though.

 

[Bernardougf]

Please no. I think Elon is an interesting guy but I'd rather him focus on cars/spaceex than just make a game studio dedicated to pleasing anti-dei chuds.

Well you have multiple studios pumping out one DEI success after another... you could let us incels chuds have one little western studio. Just one. You can keep the rest.. they sure will live for years to come as the DEI initiative is prooving to be a huge success for the gaming industry.

Please don't.

Yes, in the indie development space certainly. Major publishers though, probably not, or at least outwardly they'll always side with the establishment.

Agreed and it comes down to literally everything from running a 7/11 to the country

Makes me no difference if they are rude or arrogant or straight up an asshole

Get. The. Job. Done.

People tend to miss that Elon made tons of his money selling the tax credits to other car companies that lagged so far behind his EVs.

 

[Pejo]

With Elon, a lot of my thoughts center back to the same argument - he can do things that don't necessarily chase profit as the only goal, because he's so rich. Even if he's just funding and putting the right people in charge, I love the stuff that Tesla/SpaceX are doing and have done.

If he wants to make a game studio, and then make a game without being focus tested and checkboxed for maximum cheap Blackrock loans, more power to him. It doesn't automatically mean the game will be good, but it starts from a completely different starting point, so that's enough to keep me interested.

 

[PurePlatinum]

You can have Sony Bend

 

[Bernardougf]

You can have Sony Bend

Sony bend did one good game with male white hetero bikers , big nay nay, and the snow flake soy drinking press lost their panties.. the director lost his job and so they probably are doing purple hair gaming just like the rest of western Sony.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Total waste. I'd rather he focus on non-entertainment technology.

Isn’t he already? I‘d say his main focus has been SpaceX for a while now.

He doesn’t have to run the game company, just oversee it and put the right people in charge. Seeing how sick people are of wokeism in games and that there is end in sight, Musk could actually make a buck or two with this.

 

[ScHlAuChi]

He already worked on a game, it was shit!

 

[finalflame]

He also said: DEI and woke mind virus kill the art of video games

Autism capital, indeed.

 

[LectureMaster]

I love the idea of getting exclusive for my Tesla.

You PlayStation players think you are rich? You are just peasants in front of us!!!

 

[xrnzaaas]

An entire studio for Era to boycott.

Wouldn't be the first one. They already hate Warhorse (behind Kingdom Come series) and probably a few more.

 

[nowhat]

He almost lost his ass keeping Tesla afloat and eventually turned it into the world’s most valuable car company. Does it matter whether he founded it?

It shouldn't, and yet he showed so much small-dick energy that he had to sue for the title.

Oh BTW, how's that "Full Self-Driving" coming along? It should be right around the corner, next year, right? That's what Elon has been telling us for pretty much a decade.

 

[Dr.brain64]

A new console too?

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Knowing climate stuff

not wanting population decline but growth.

So… not knowing ”climate stuff” at all then.

 

[Generic]

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.

So he hates DEI but likes a Blizzard game? Selective wokeness strikes again.

While what you’re saying is…illuminating, a self-proclaimed centrist such as Elon would not be highly and heavily endorsing one candidate over the other to the point where misinformation and slander are being spread and promoted, by himself no less, heavily towards one side.

And before you make certain rebuttals, I would have the same take if he did the same for the other candidate. It’s a misusage of the application/website.

Regardless I won’t go much further into this. No politics

 

[Fess]

A big wallet dev without western dei/gender agenda would be cool. Do it!
Just keep the US politics out of the story, he’s unbearable right now on X for anyone outside of the US.

[nnytk]

I kind of like his big ideas, but I very much dislike his support of Trump. Not to mention the way he uses polarizing statements to play the media and runs X. There's something weirdly bipolar about this man.

And if its all just strategies then he's using the Kayfabe playbook a bit too aggresively. I mean, those jumps at that Trump rally and the dark MAGA hat. Please.

Him making games would be... wild.
