Elon Musk has confirmed that he intends to launch his own video game development studio using artificial intelligence (AI). He posted the corresponding message on X.
A photo of the team of the future game studio was published by Tesla employee Dmitry Zenyuk, who, according to him, should become part of Musk's AI company xAI. In his post, Musk confirmed Zenyuk's information about the creation of the studio, and in another he wrote that he plans to “make video games great again“.
Elon Musk has repeatedly criticized the current state of the video game industry in the United States, noting the negative impact of diversity, equality and inclusion policies on the content created by major studios. He expressed similar criticism of the country's film industry. The entrepreneur himself admitted that he considers himself an active gamer; he periodically hosts shows in which he plays Path of Exile 2 and Diablo IV.
In April 2023, Musk founded the startup xAI, which develops artificial intelligence. In November of the same year, the company introduced an AI-based chatbot Grok. The neural network is available to users with a premium subscription to the X platform. The project's creators claim that this product differs from its analogues in that it is not censored and provides access to relevant information in real time.
