Shitting in a garden is good for the plants... Maybe this is like that?
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.

Bet: He will not release a single fucking game
He'll waste a lot of money to do so though. Just like Amazon before him. And Google.

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
Aww he thinks people like him?
Stop typing up that misogynist manifesto and scouting crowded public spaces. Instead, become the hero you wish you were and do us all a fucking favour. I will personally ensure you have the fattest commissary in history for the duration of your life sentence.
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).
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.

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

Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it's going to be years from now.
I think how he works is that he will buy out a studio with an almost finished game, and reskin it to help him with gaining more power in the USA .
It will be out in a few months, and he will claim credit.
Well that's another way to burn a few more billion.
Can he get gvmnt to fund this endeavour? Most times such ideas mean siphoning money and not releasing anything and he is bro-bro with Trump.
