Does Elon Musk want to compete with PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo?

Some people are convinced that Musk could jump right into gaming thanks to his massive fortune and his presence in the tech industry. On the contrary, there are also those who believe that the tycoon would fail, especially after what happened with his negotiations to acquire Twitter.

Full Send Podcast asked Musk if he would be willing to enter the console market with his own hardware. The tycoon’s response was blunt and he confirmed that, for now, he has no interest in competing in the sector.

The reason? Musk believes that current consoles are basically PCs, so he believes that a new system would not add anything of value to the industry, at least not in its current state.

“Nope. Right now consoles are all basically PC. I’m not sure I can add value with another console, “said the tycoon. So you’d better not expect Musk to try and compete with PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo just yet. Below you can hear his statement about video games at the 2:21:50 mark.
