So, here we are! Thanksgiving has arrived, and indeed, Elon Musk has given everyone a glimpse into what he’s up to lately! So, is it just me, or has gaming gotten too woke recently? Yeah, there are things like women as playable characters and People of Color everywhere. I can’t abide by that! Art should be a barren, monochromatic wasteland — stripped of its ideas and any semblance of originality!

“I’m going to use my big corporation to teach these other big corporations a lesson!” You know, no contradictions present! AI in video games has gone so smoothly! The developers love it, and the best games heavily feature AI! When I played Pentiment, a hand-crafted game with love poured into it by Obsidian Entertainment, a revelation hit me. “This game needs a little bit more AI! It would’ve sold at least a billion more copies if they used more AI!”
Elon Musk will save us from capitalism!
Many people online are elated! They’re screaming to the heavens, “Thank God this billionaire is going to give art back to the beleaguered proletariat class!” Because the first people to stand up for the rights and luxuries of the common person are millionaires and billionaires! Remember when we solved world hunger with all the excess money billionaires make, ensuring no one goes homeless or starves?

Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

X owner Elon Musk has taken a brief break from posting racism, transphobia, and conspiracy theory nonsense to say that gaming has become too "woke" because the industry is dominated by massive corporations, and so he is going to use his own massive corporation to start a new game studio powered by AI "to make games great again!"
Musk's latest outburst came in response to Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus, who said he doesn't understand how game developers and journalists have become "so ideologically captured," particularly given that gamers—real gamers, one must assume—"have always rejected dumb manipulative BS, and can tell when someone is an outsider poser."
"Too many game studios that are owned by massive corporations," said Musk, the owner of X, SpaceX, and Tesla, whose personal net worth is somewhere north of $322 billion. "xAI is going to start an AI game studio to make games great again!"
