It’s no surprise that Musk is grinding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as the businessman has become popular on Twitter for his tweets about video games.
Earlier in the year, his Twitter account was suspended when the social media company believed someone had hacked it after tweets mentioning video games were posted.
It’s also clear that Musk is a fan of Nintendo games, as last month he revealed that he had attempted to make Mario Kart playable from the main console screen built into Tesla cars. Unfortunately, Nintendo wouldn’t give him the license needed to make this happen, but owners of the electric vehicles can play classic Atari games inside their car.
