I agree with this statement but I just don't like this guy. He is everywhere i am tired of him

The programming continues

[LiquidMetal14]

He's right. I'm with Elton.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

After the latest questions Amorim has been getting at United's press conferences even after Rashford has already left for Villa, I'm convinced that sports journalism (at least in the UK) is worse than games journalism by quite a margin. Bunch of cunts, the lot of them.

 

[Kacho]

He's not wrong.

If you think "simply existing" is why people hate him, you're a bit simple, huh? Here…. I have a ball of yarn you can play with. Probably hours of entertainment.

Looks like you're off your meds again grandpa. And sorry that my comment offended you so much to point of being completely triggered.

 

[David Ricardo]

I wonder if Elon paid someone else to write that for him.

The amount of tweets per day while supposedly also sleeping at work because he works 16 hours indicates that he probably has somebody helping him with that

 

[Denton]

That applies to western gaming journalism (and non-gaming) one.

In Czechland for example, regular journalism is also garbage (and in large part funded by USAID far leftists, so it makes sense) but gaming journalism here is good quality.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

now cope and seethe "gaming journalists"

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I honestly respect it. It's hilarious that the richest guy in the world is talking about this. He is racking cringe points at the same time tho.

Yeah, we will agree to disagree here.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I already noticed this in the seventh gen and I'm not billionaire, so...

Yep, but it's because it's coming from a billionaire and owner of Twitter that these "journalists" are going to have a meltdown

You really got me.

 

[Achelexus]

Haven't we known this for 15 years or so

 

[onQ123]

Simple minded people can't understand that they're being used SMH

But go ahead & chant " One of Us!"

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

He's not wrong. When you can blow your way to good reviews of your shit game, there's something wrong especially when you're fat and ugly.

The Indian guy running his account was not a joke.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

He's right. I'm with Elton.

 

[SatansReverence]

He's salty about reporting on him being the ultimate fake gamer and is more than 10 years late to the party.

Yes Elon, we know. You still can't sit with us.

 

[DryvBy]

There's people who legitimately think this is a Nazi opinion to say game journalists are trash. Its obvious to us, but there's still too many who read their "reports".

 

[Bernoulli]

 

[damidu]

you are garbage moron, crawl back to whoever hurt you as a kid, that you crave attention and validation for being the "world's best gamer"

 

[hemo memo]

You're 23 years late, Elon.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Can we just stop posting shit from this loser now?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Maybe he can weed out corruption in both our government and game journalism at the same time?

 

[Sooner]

no Elon, you are garbage.

Nah.

 

[OGM_Madness]

Do you hate Taylor swift too then? Just asking.

Oh no, I didn't know Taylor was autistic too?

Joke aside, Elon Musk doing that salute when and where he did is the scariest thing, and we all should be worried. People like to downplay it, saying it doesn't mean much, and show pictures of other politicians waving in public or whatever to make it look as if Musk isn't the only one. But we aren't stupid, and the silence is deafening. May God have mercy.

Anyway, games! He's not wrong; journalists suck at playing games (they can't all be pros at ranked!), and because they play games for work, they all have the same biases: "Games are too long! This game didn't overstay its welcome!" Of course, I'd be the same too! That shift was too long! What a nice customer didn't overstay their welcome! Oh this customer gave us a nice tip, he is such a nice person!

However, there's always those unicorns among the coal, the people that actually play for passion and love what they do. God bless them!

Simply existing:

 

[David Ricardo]

Also, there probably is more to the tweet thant it seems.

Elon knows USAID was spending billions promoting wokeness, sending money to lots of news outlets inside the US and around the world to influence people and rig elections. So, if suddenly all gaming journalists and a lot of game companies are woke, while a very high percentage of gamers hate woke games, doesn´t it look like there must be some incentive somewhere for those companies to do things that are so obviously against their own interests?

Now that USAID is about to dissappear, I expect a swift reduction in artificially woke gaming journalism and woke games. If gamers are not paying for it, and USAID isn´t paying for it either, that trend is going to dry up really fast.

 

[StereoVsn]

He's not wrong.

He isn't but he is also full of shit so it's pot kettle and the whole thing.

 

[Ozriel]

I get amusement out of the people who spend all day hating this man for simply existing lol.

Not nearly as amusing as the folks who fellate the guy for simply existing.

 

[StereoVsn]

You know they flipped the pic to make it look like she's using her right-hand when it's really her left and if you watch the video you can see she blew a kiss and is opening and closing her hand. You can see it at about the 4:20 mark.

Yep, a lot of folks are really interested in defending the richest man on Earth.

 

[freemandos]

Yep, but it's because it's coming from a billionaire and owner of Twitter that these "journalists" are going to have a meltdown

Hmmm, well, you have a point.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Dude cheats at videogames and lies about it.

Sounds like he'd be a perfect journalist in another timeline.

 

[hemo memo]

Maybe he can weed out corruption in both our government and game journalism at the same time?

I don't think game journalism is inherently corrupt; instead, it struggles with widespread incompetence. For instance, the most prominent figure in the industry resembles a journalist from the old tabloid era—more focused on sensationalism than substance.

 

[Crayon]

Raise your hand if you look up to this guy. Raise it with your palm down though and kind of up at an angle with your arm nice and straight.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

no Elon, you are garbage.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I don't think game journalism is inherently corrupt; instead, it struggles with widespread incompetence. For instance, the most prominent figure in the industry resembles a journalist from the old tabloid era—more focused on sensationalism than substance.

I think it's probably a good (bad) mix of both. It just sucks.

 

[BlackTron]

He's right they've always been garbage. But he embraced this fact after they all called him out for being a fake streamer. lol

I get amusement out of the people who spend all day hating this man for simply existing lol.

Love him or hate him, it's hard to see a statement like this as anything but trolling.

 

[Sanepar]

There is many garbage but Elon Musk is garbage so his opinion is not relevant.

 

[DAHGAMING]

He must be fucked off with greasy Jeff pissy pants and life of the party Jezzy Cordon chatting pure bullshit.

 

[Bernoulli]

Maybe he can weed out corruption in both our government and game journalism at the same time?

How is he dealing with corruption?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

How is he dealing with corruption?

DOGE

 

[Physiognomonics]

Did he pay someone to come up with that?

Did you get paid to write that?

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

For once I agree with you Mr. Muskrat

 

[adamsapple]

Did you get paid to write that?

 

[Calverz]

He's a massive wanker but in this case is correct.

 

[Superposition]

Considering the abnormal increase in the number of bad games tolerated with toxic positivity and high scores, he is not wrong.

 

[Evolved1]

Btw... gaming journalism is mostly garbage; not all garbage.
