Musk says he’s going to launch an “AI game studio” at his xAI startup.
From the mind behind the design of the Cybertruck and naming his website X. God that’s going to be some grade A cringe.
AAAA cringe.
When he finds out XboX is taken…he is going to be SO MAD
Eww, no
Isn’t this moron still playing Diablo 4? Can’t say that gives me much confidence in his greatness. I’d also bet both nuts that his games feature microtransactions as their core mechanic.
Is he playing it or paying someone to play it.
All games will include some doge based nft stuff wont they?
You made several hypnotised men cum please be careful
Hey, don’t shit on his hobby!
Musk’s grift is to portray himself as a some kind of “rebel” against the establishment and elites, as a “good guy”, even though he belongs to the elites as a billionaire.
If devs thought the crunch was bad before….
Call his bluff. Get him away from politics and let him spend the next eight years building the next Balan Wonderworld with cameos from Joe Rogan and Donald Trump.
Better yet, let him collab with Peter Molyneux, and Musk will be bankrupt before the game is released.
This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.
Also you will have to shove a camera down your pants so it can verify what gender your character will be assigned.
On the bright side there’s about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry’s seen plenty of attempts already
And if it’s good then ill just pirate it :3
We might get a new entry for the “Worst of all Time” award
Just because it’s bad don’t mean that it won’t make money hand over fist. Look at everything Disney produces.
Making money from a slightly smaller pile of money is easy.
Making ever more money from increasingly smaller piles of money is hard, and that’s what they all career headlong towards for no discernable reason whatsoever.
Also it will be some kind of grift. I guess something something nft crypto, or whatever.
And will end up being banned from steam as a result.
I’m looking forward to it tbh.
thats fine, let him make his own storefront too. Or is that what X: The Everything App is supposed to be used for?
The richest man in the world complains companies with 1% of his persona wealth are too big.
What the actual F.
Yes’just jealous he hasn’t got a game studio. He wants so badly to be cool.
He’s angry he doesn’t own culture. He’s trying to buy the ability to control culture. And to a certain extent I imagine that he’s angry that American pop culture has long flowed from groups he’s bigoted towards.
Microsoft owns most of it
God please no. The game industry is messed up as it is.
are you kidding? god, please YES. I can’t wait for the inevitably shitty games this studio would shart out. it’s gonna be like those anti woke cartoons.
vacuous, cynical rehashing of extremely outdated ideas with zero artistic vision and almost certainly full of stupid references to memes and ancient pop culture? PLEASE LET US HAVE IT NOW
it’s going to be that cryptoisland ad: the game.
The main characters “tag line” it says after a gib is “The cake WAS a lie!” and acts like Duke Nukem, but looks like Elong.
Borderlands 2 but every character is claptrap completely unironically and it contains none of the elements that make it one of fhe great games of all time
I’m trying really hard not to derail the thread by shitting on Borderlands right now
No, this is great. It wastes Musk’s money hopefully paying people to make something that wouldn’t be otherwise. It doesn’t matter if what comes out is garbage. Just don’t buy it. More of his money needs to be spent helping, and the government won’t do it so the best we can hope for is him just doing it by being a fucking moron.
Shitting in a garden is good for the plants… Maybe this is like that?
God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.
Now that he is first lady, you won’t get away from him.
I used to love dreaming about near future space travel.
I’m pretty sure he thinks that if no one is paying attention to him he ceases to exist.
If he wasn’t such a social hazard his pitiful, immature, and downright pathetic personality would make for great satire content.
Will it go as well as X AI?
Grok is the laughing stock of the LLM world, and he also completely lied about his promise to make them open source. The latest Qwen release from Alibaba (open, locally runnable weights, tiny, Apache, freaking smart) has rendered his obscene hoard of H100s basically obsolete, with a miniscule fraction of the money.
My god he’s insufferable
