9 Weird Video Game Tidbits From The Elon Musk Biography

The Twitter CEO stumbling into a Cyberpunk 2077 voice session with a gun is only the tip of the iceberg

Walter Isaacson’s recently published biography of unhinged kingpin Elon Musk, Elon Musk, unloaded several bombshells about Musk’s family and hectic approach to business, but Kotaku is most interested in his relationship to video games.

The way Musk interacts with games seems like the way he interacts with everything else: overwrought, obsessive, and kind of cringe.
