Elon Musk, the visionary behind Tesla and the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), has revealed his plans to launch a groundbreaking gaming company. This innovative venture will be powered by artificial intelligence and overseen by xAI, an AI arts company founded by Musk just last year.
The unexpected announcement was sparked by a provocative post from Shibetoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Dogecoin. In his message on X, Shibetoshi expressed his thoughts on the gaming industry’s current state, highlighting the disconnect between game developers, game journalism, and the gaming community.
In response to Shibetoshi’s post, Elon Musk declared, “Too many game studios are under the control of corporate giants. @xAI is set to revolutionize the gaming landscape with an AI-driven game studio!”
Musk’s announcement elicited a mix of excitement and skepticism within the gaming sphere. Notable composer Marty O’Donnell offered his services to create music for the upcoming studio, while game development project Redot suggested redirecting resources to support independent game developers. Gaming director Gemma Cooper drew parallels between Musk’s initiative and the past hype surrounding NFTs.
