Billionaire Elon Musk Is “Cold” Towards League of Legends for a Special Reason
Perhaps many people already know, billionaire Elon Musk is also a “real” gamer. In May 2023, he completed Elden Ring – the blockbuster game at that time. In fact, he even played games all night and has postponed meetings just to play. However, Elon Musk has shown a “cold” attitude towards a “national” game, which is League of Legends.
Specifically, in a conversation with Kai Trump – the daughter of former U.S. President Donald Trump, Musk mentioned that he has played many types of shooting games. However, when Kai asked about League of Legends, the 53-year-old billionaire replied: “Oh no, I don’t play League of Legends. This game will affect my space projects.”
Nevertheless, despite refusing to play League of Legends, Musk’s attitude remains very cheerful and relaxed. Many opinions suggest that the billionaire might be implying that League of Legends is too “addictive.” Being passionate about this game could interfere with his projects.
The League of Legends Community Also Expresses Sympathy for Elon Musk
Under the post about Musk’s statement, many League of Legends players showed respect as the billionaire accurately assessed the impact of the game on players. One comment noted: “Elon knows the real cost of getting caught up in League of Legends. It can be too risky even for a rocket scientist like him.”
Currently, even after more than 15 years since its first appearance, League of Legends still has an impressive allure. Tournaments continue to attract attention and viewership numbers increase year after year.
In particular, T1 – the team with the largest fanbase in the League of Legends community, continues to achieve success at the World Championship, benefiting both the game and Riot, especially from merchandise sales and recently the Hall of Legends collection honoring Faker.
Additionally, we cannot overlook the successful series Arcane 2 from Riot. It can be said that the game still retains a strong appeal and may continue to thrive for a few more years.
