Elon Musk: It would be fun and interesting to do to start a video game studio
- Thread starter Kotaro
- Start date
Hi, you guys must be new to Elon.
He's dangling keys at you.
Elon does 1 thing and 1 thing only, pumps and dumps.
That's all.
Tesla's Robotaxi doesn't exist and the goal was to get more people to buy into class A stock and get more people on the public exchange to buy class B stock.
Neither worked out.
So now he's manipulating demographics.
Now that he's right wing , he's paying attention to what the demographic likes.
He knows you like video games, so he's pretending he has any intention to deliver good games to you in any capacity.
This way, you will forget the robo taxi fiasco that just happened and the "Vibe" surrounding him stabilizes, and so he can try to pump his stock again in the near future.

It was fun playing games on my car every now and then.
As a former fan of Elon who found out the truth about him?
He is not your friend, my guy.
He is playing right wingers like a fiddle.
All he has to do is tell you guys he hates wokeness.
Of course, when you guys become a liability to him, he will cut you loose and pretend he never had anything to do with you.
That's the thing about Musk, he fools himself and then says the right things until it isn't profitable anymore.

Probably not. His studio would need to hire Asian devs. Which would be fine, Asian devs will make better product and demand less money anyways

I won't get into politics here.
But notice how members in this thread have various opinions here. Some members here like him, some don't. No echo chambers. Unlike that forum you probably frequent to which bans wrong think, doxxxes the particular member, even in some cases tries doxxxing that person's family. Have a good day.
"Well nobodies perfect, so I'm smarter than you."
The "Mass transit tunnel" flopped..
like hard...
He gave up on that and just turned it into a tiny Tunnel for Teslas only.
But the tunnel was never going to exist.
the Koch brothers commissioned him to get the California government- the "woke" government he pretends to hate since they wanna tax him.....-To invest in "Hyperloop" as opposed to just making a fucking railway.
He never intended to get it to work which he went on record saying by the way, and everyone in California is still reliant on cars.
This is why I can't stand you Musk fans... You list his achievements and fancy yourselves brilliant because you identify with what you think is a genius, but the basic facts escape you.
Man, I hope your right.
Because Elon's Twitter? I got banned for wrong think.
A video of a dude making blackface was making the rounds, I said "lol thats super racist but he got her good."
Actual racists got offended and called me everything from retard to the N-word with a hard-R.
I mocked and countered all of them, they CLEARLY got upset, because they mass reported me....
The tweet that got me permanently suspended for "Abuse and harassment"?
"Quiet , boy. Before I fuck your mother become your new dad and ground you forever."
and when I appeal it?
"Oh no we're not overturning it, we found that it was correct."
Same shit happened on reddit.
Argued with some reddit-lefties over a fucking television show's politics, got insulted, insulted them back : "AHP, YOU MAY NOT ABUSE OR HARASS MEMBERS. BANNED."
My point is : I am NOT optimistic.
But I'll enjoy my time here.
Uhhhh.... Wow, so ignoring how that's a little incredibly racist... It's also horseshit.
Everyone in the game industry is not getting paid with the exception of a few who get into good companies.
Thing is : Companies that don't give devs their due tend not to last very long and end up making slop.
Don't believe me? Remember when you loved Overwatch?

He simply is a cultured person.So… not knowing ”climate stuff” at all then.
At least enough to be aware that once CO2 percentage in the atmosphere, which is currently 0.04%, goes under 0.02% Earth's vegetation dies.

I agree with Elon i would like to see his videogame studio someday, but im guessing it likely won't ever be a real thing since he must be quite busy to start a game studio

I'd be game to see what he could do. Bring back the old meglomaniac visionary running a game studio. The best games came from that shit.

After seeing how he ran Twitter after taking over? No thanks.
If something does happen, I hope he can just supply funding to some smaller indie developers with good ideas and no desire to chase ESG funding. I'd rather see support of smaller developers and smaller titles rather than him awkwardly trying to become the next EA or Ubisoft.

The problem is even if you're 99% in lockstep with the one true opinion over there, unless you have the right diversity armor you're gonna end up permabanned and either play musical alts or wash up on the shores of another forum.

I think Musk is an insufferable prick but I'm all for for this. He's got a fuck ton of money to inject into the industry and I'm always down for new gaming experiences. I'm can't say I'm not curious to see what he would be interested in having a team develop.

It’s more that plenty of people are level headed enough to see how badly Musk’s star has fallen thanks to his rampant political idiocy, and would rather he stuck to doing things he’s actually good at.
However, the people still mindlessly sucking up to him whatever he does do certainly exhibit similar behaviours to Era members, who will also side with anyone if they agree with their politics.
Grow up a little.

I think he should do it.
Seeing him flopping in something else would be great.

I bet he can buy a big gaming studio and make it as successful as x.

Yeah, seeing people behave exactly like "the other side" while complaining about "the other side" is both pretty funny and pretty sad at the same time.
"Good people on both sides"..? Nah, there's only idiots on the sides. The good people are all in the vast middle.

Meh. It is likely to be mismanaged horribly and create bad products, if any even end up happening.

Love him or hate him , the man single handedly make electric cars a reality + space x now what he's doing with neural link.
His positive impact on the society is immeasurable.
I meean if anyone can unite all the og developers of diablo ,warcraft and StarCraft and make an incredible game it's him

They would have let him brick in their mouths prior to his political outspokenness. Fact. Everyone on that ideology spectrum loved him prior.
"Saving the planet, going green, we love you, Elon."
Astounting how cult/tribal the current landscape is. I want off this timeline.

I'm all for more video games, but I don't know if I'd want any from him. He's got his hands in enough cookie jars.
After watching that clip, from where I'm at, whatever games are considered "DEI" and "woke" are just as bad as people looking to call any and every game "DEI" and "woke". I understand some cases regardless if I agree or not. But it's gotten to the point where something that isn't even remotely that (such as Silent Hill 2 Remake) still gets labeled as such or dragged by folks mislabeling it.
I just want more people & studios to ignore voices on all sides and just make amazing games they're truly passionate about. That's it.

The three of us disagree fairly constantly; me, Kage, and Miller…. so when we’re all on the same page in saying Elon is fucking retarded…it kinda says something.

Billionaires can’t have fun? This dude has been doing what he wants for an eternity.

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
Sure, but I personally hope he focuses on more practical tech. There's no shortage of games being developed. There always is a shortage of revolutionary industry-changing companies, though.

Im sure there is some small no name developers on steam that produce non woke games.
Since anyone can publish a game on steam.
But for the well known developers probably not. They probably get extra funding for including woke content.
Elon musk going to be a welcome change from woke trash. If his studio is successful expect more developers to follow suit.

He really should. Can we please go back to the days of video games being offensive and just not giving a fuck?
