Elon Musk and Video Games

Elon Musk has been very vocal about his love for video games. As claimed by him, he developed and sold his first game at the age of 12 for $500. He also carries an all-praise attitude for Elden Ring and Diablo IV. In his biography, it has been mentioned that the genius is a big fan of Polytopia, and once he even outclassed the game’s creator as well. And we have seen Tesla collaborating with games like Rocket League and Fortnite to bring the Cybertruck to the game.
