    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.

    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.

    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.

    I can't wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it's ass, and then claim the only people that don't like it are the woke mob that kills art.

    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

    I'm sure the studio will launch by next year, like every Musk product.

    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.

    The richest man in the world complains companies with 1% of his persona wealth are too big.

    This will go as well as Grummz’ (aka Bus Guy) new game studio. Also Amazon tried and failed, Facebook tried and failed, Google tried and failed. Non of these Silicon Valley cunts know how to start and run a creative endeavor like a game studio.

    Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations

    Uh oh. Am I going to have to agree with the worst person in the world?

    so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

    Oh whew. He's got the worst possible solution to the problem. The world is still correctly aligned.

    Talking about "non-woke" AI. How's Grok doing? Still hating him like all his other children?

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    From the mind behind the design of the Cybertruck and naming his website X. God that's going to be some grade A cringe.

    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.
