Musk says he’s going to launch an “AI game studio” at his xAI startup.

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.
God please no. The game industry is messed up as it is.
Shitting in a garden is good for the plants… Maybe this is like that?
Musk and Trump are jamboys for the Fascists.
They are there solely to draw attention.
Oh how i wish he would just shut the ever loving fuck up already. Him and all his little muskrats. Oh what a quiet and peaceful world that would be.
We are doomed. Doomed i say
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
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.
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.
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.
Microsoft owns most of it
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.
Fine, make games for Nazis, nobody cares. When it fails completely you can whine about the big mean world being mean to you then buy the next president and make them fund your losses from being trash-tier. Also, every maga will buy them like obedient sheep, so you will get a few million guaranteed sales.
Can’t wait to see how many titles he can come up with that have X in them before he has to branch out (if the company lasts that long).
My god he’s insufferable
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.
I don’t give a shit what Trump’s little bitch thinks thinks about video games.
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.
I bet he’s banking on marketing the games as “anti-woke” and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.
Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.
I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his “vision” to life.
Punching nazis is a game, more or less, but that’s about as political as a game should get imo.
I bet it will work, too. 😬
Google has failed at games over, and over, and over.
Stadia.
…Is he gonna hire Phil Spencer?
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.
Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.
Ten years from now, President Musk, the last president of the free united states, signs a document ceding all territory to the new russian empire
We’re going to be ruled by a split coalition between China, Mexico and Canada. And we’ll somehow be better for it.
Already consider Texans to be Mexicans so I suppose the red states will follow suit
Would California join more ideologically similar Canada (and double their population)
Join China because of the coast/wealth
Or be returned to Mexico?
Well, the parts ruled by Mexico and Canada, at least.
