The owner of X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, has announced that the division dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Xcorp, xAI, will be responsible for a video game studio powered by this technology “to make gaming great again.”
In recent months, Musk has supported publications related to the need for changes in the gaming industry, which has promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
The owner of instead of being Asian.
In this sense, Musk considered that the initiative that promotes diversity in the video game industry was “killing art“, a comment he posted on his X account in response to a user who noted that the game is “so progressive that it features a black gay protagonist portrayed as a real historical samurai.”
More recently he has supported the opinions shared by the founder of Dogecoin, known on X as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, who has claimed not to understand “how game developers and video game journalism have become so ideologically trapped.”
“Gamers have always been trolls, anti-greedy corporations and anti-trash” and “have always rejected manipulative nonsense,” Nakamoto said, acknowledging that he prefers independent video games.
In response to these remarks, Musk noted that there are “too many video game studios that are owned by large corporations” and announced that Xcorp’s AI division, xAI, “is going to start an AI video game studio”, according to shared on X.

Musk has also presented a motto that is very much in line with that of the next president of the United States, Donald Trump – who will be his boss when he takes charge of the new Department of Government Efficiency -, by adapting his popular “Make America Great Again’ (‘Make America Great Again’) to ‘Make Games Great Again’. In this way, Musk hopes to “make video games be great again.”
The magnate has not given more information about this initiative, although it is worth noting that a recent publication on the official account of this division points out that xAI is hiring AI engineers, without indicating in any case that they are going to dedicate themselves to the video game section.
Thus, he has shared a job vacancy in which he is looking for a person with responsibilities “similar to those of a technology director of an AI startup”, according to the offer.
This is not the only one that appears in your X profile, since other software engineer job positions are offered, security engineerIT support specialist, network administrator or STEM expert, among others.
