Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and accused fake gamer, has reiterated his dislike for the GTA games over one of its core gameplay aspects.
As any GTA player will know, the whole concept of the franchise is to play as a criminal and do things you can’t do in real life. That’s why it was made. You get to live an explosive fantasy and have fun. However, that’s too much for the man with the most amount of wealth in human history despite all of the other problems he has caused.
In a new interview on the People by WTF podcast, Musk and fellow multi-billionaire turned podcaster Nikhil Kamath discuss a lot of topics. They range from AI, the meaning of life, simulation theory, morality and more.
When talking about one’s morality, Musk is asked by Kamath if he has played GTA. Elon says:
“I’ve only played a little bit of GTA because I didn’t like the fact that (…) like in GTA V, you literally can’t progress unless you kill the police. And I’m like…this doesn’t work for me. I actually don’t like killing the NPCs in the video games. That’s not my thing. I actually didn’t like GTA… I actually stopped when the only way to proceed was to shoot at the police. I don’t like that. I don’t do that.”
This means Elon rage quit after a matter of minutes. In the game’s first mission, the prologue, we see Michael and Trevor rob a bank. Within a few moments, police show up and you need to take them out to proceed towards the getaway car. With over 220 million copies sold, Mr Musk might be one of the handful of people who gave up after mere seconds of putting a controller in his hand.
The man with the most money previously expressed a similar sentiment when the first GTA 6 trailer released. Rockstar mocked Musk’s Twitter (currently known as X) for hosting the leaked trailer. The games company did not post the full trailer to the site until several hours after the Twitter CEO at the time embarrassingly begged Rockstar to post such a historic piece of media on the platform rather than just linking to the YouTube upload.

Sorry but what a stupid hate „news“.
What „problems“ did Elon cause?
He is not by accident the richest man, but because he is most successfull businessman of all times.
If he doesnt like GTA, just respect it. He uses his time for more useful things.
Also, Rockstar has changed a lot over the last years, negative biased company now.
