Elon Musk’s “Cold” Take on League of Legends for a Special Reason
Many people already know that billionaire Elon Musk is also an avid gamer. In May 2023, he completed Elden Ring – a game known for its deep lore. Moreover, he has been playing a variety of games consistently and is actively engaged in gaming. However, Elon Musk has expressed a “cold” take on one particular “national game,” which is League of Legends.
Specifically, during a conversation with Kai Trump – the daughter of former President Donald Trump, Musk revealed that he has played many types of games before. However, when Kai brought up League of Legends, the 53-year-old billionaire stated: “No, I don’t play League of Legends. This game will affect my space-time fabric.”
Nonetheless, despite not playing League of Legends, Musk’s attitude remains very cheerful and relaxed. Many opinions suggest that the billionaire may be trying to avoid League of Legends due to its “addictive” nature. Being engrossed in this game could potentially impact his projects.
Following Musk’s statement, many League of Legends players expressed their respect for the billionaire’s insightful evaluation of the game’s impact on players. One commentator noted: “Elon clearly understands the real price of being addicted to League of Legends. The repercussions can be quite severe, even for a renowned scientist like him.”
Currently, even after more than 15 years since its initial release, League of Legends continues to maintain a strong appeal. The competitive scene is thriving, and viewership numbers are consistently increasing year after year.
Notably, T1 – a team with the largest fan base in the League of Legends community, has continuously achieved success at the World Championships, significantly benefiting both the game and Riot, especially in merchandise sales. Recently, there has been a Hall of Legends collection honoring Faker.
Additionally, we cannot overlook the success of the Arcane 2 series, which continues to thrive under Riot. It can be said that the game still holds significant appeal and may continue to develop well in the coming years.
