Musk says he’s going to launch an “AI game studio” at his xAI startup.
I don’t give a shit what Trump’s little bitch thinks thinks about video games.
My god he’s insufferable
I’m sure he’ll attract a ton of talent. As if the game industry wasn’t bad enough with its employees, an Elon-ran game company would be something for the ages.
Let the first AAA woke game bomb.
He and trump are like two wicked and ridiculous Roald Dahl villains. Insufferable, and how. I wish they’d both just fuck off.
The new Crypto AI game named DogeX allows you to become a Russian troll!
God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.
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.
Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn’t guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.
Google has failed at games over, and over, and over.
I bet he’s banking on marketing the games as “anti-woke” and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.
Or at EA, or Ubisoft
EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?
Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.
Looks like money spoils people.
Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.
Aww he thinks people like him?
A certain type of goateed chungus will take as an article of faith that this is a revolution in gaming, preorder multiple copies of these games and send death threats to anyone who suggests that they’re not great.
Fuck off Elon.
He figured out he can have an army of junkie fanatics if he gets into the videogame business. Just like his multi billionare colleague steam ceo gabe newell who owns a billionare mega yacht fleet and somehow still get praised even here on lemmy.
Elonia is building her own game studio? Well, that was not on my 2024 bingo card.
Him going going utterly insane because he is Tiny* Stark but omniscient should be on the card from now on.
(* typo by swipe keyboard - I love it so much I decided to keep it 😊)
Can we just stop trying squeeze AI into every god damn thing yet?
It has its uses, but its a tool, not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent - and if you try to make it be, you’ll just get hot garbage out.
Producing hot garbage is kind of Elon’s thing.
The people pushing AI don’t care if AI works or not. They will keep making money while the consumers and workers suffer.

I want them to do this, produce some absolute slop that nobody plays or wants, lose a colossal sum of money, and forever be an example of what not to do.
Thing is, he has a big enough bankroll to just keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. 100Mil for a triple-A game is effectively pocket change when you’re worth a couple hundred billion. He’ll keep trying until he gets bored or stumbles onto the next Fortnite out of sheer luck.
Elon kind of already did that with X and unfortunately it hasn’t taught him anything.
He stands to gain more through his political influence than he has lost with Twitter, and the latter arguably helped him get the former. By itself, his acquisition of Twitter is and will remain a loss; in the grand scheme of things, though, it was a sort of investment that is likely to pay off handsomely. If he’s learnt anything, it’s that the United States have devolved into a plutocracy that capital can steer off the common interest of their citizens and the common good.
Like GTA, but only teslas.
not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent
But… it is*?
*: From the perspective of upper management and higher.
Hard work and talent might organize and start s union, so they’ll go with the
hot garbageAI.
Richest fucker in the world starts indie game studio was not on my bingo card.
Don’t worry, he just made a type in “crypto grift studio”.
He really is Schrödinger’s oligarch, both the richest man alive but somehow also a revolutionary fighting against the “system”. Or in other words, he thinks he’s Neo while literally building the Matrix (Neuralink+AI).
