Tesla CEO Elon Musk has compared three of the most popular social networking websites to three separate video game franchises. According to Musk, who is known for his fondness of gaming, The Legend of Zelda is Instagram, Dark Souls is Twitter and Bloodborne is Reddit. What he means exactly by these metaphors remains to be seen, but I guess they could be open to some form of interpretation. On a related note in terms of Japanese entertainment, Musk is also a fan of anime.
Twitter is Dark Souls of social media. Reddit is Bloodborne. Insta is Zelda.

What autism is this idiot spouting now?
BAD! BAD CHILD! THIS IS BEING REPORTED!
It is stupid though.
please don’t use autism as a joke fodder it’s not funny.
He’s still baked…
who cares about him, if he keeps going on social media and making IDIOTIC tweets he’ll be out of tesla becuase of his dumb actions in social media. people will also be thinking negatively about him if he keep doing that.
exactly lego293
You got it, lego293
He already dropped out as CEO. What more do you want him to do? Get poor fast. lol
really,I saw he resigned as chairman and stayed as CEO.
OOF
So why aren’t the people who spout racist and sexist things towards White Men who are part of massive corporations not fired yet? Plus, you do know he’s step down as CEO.
ok, didn’t know that when did that happen?
because*
MyNintendoNews comment sections are like Pikmin games
Yeah I guess they’re a bit of a hive mind aren’t they?
Nah, it’s more like Agony
…who is he, again?
Someone involved with South Park
The creator of the Electric Car Manufacture, Tesla… bigger question, who are you?
No one
LOL
cringe
This is news?
No, it isn’t.
More pointless drivel from this guy.
When you get past of all the duck faces, you start finding some real weirdos.
But how stoned you have to be for this level of deep thinking?
Not very.
Elon Musk is a cnut.
Why do you say that?
Mostly because he accused a man, with zero evidence, of being a paedophile simply because he dared to question the effectiveness of one of his “amazing” inventions.
I bet you’ve never said anything stupid in the heat of the moment in your life before. Oh yeah my bad, he’s successful, intelligent and rich, so we have to be extra critical and unforgiving, that’s how it works nowadays, amirite.
He acknowledged it was out of line and apologized for it, what more can he do? He got punished for it and was the only one to sustain serious damage from the situation. I am in no way defending what he said, it was extremely stupid and not thought through at all, but he’s only human, shit happens. Aplogizing doesn’t make the things unsaid, but it’s definitely a big step into the right direction, and surely can’t be easy to do in front of millions.
All apart from the fact that this “man” you’re speaking of aggressively rejected Elon Musk in an almost insulting manner, for the mere fact that he wanted to *help* people, dismissing him and the things he has the capabilities to do. Musk was trying to help people in need. He has the resources and didn’t expect anything in return, but people got their panties in a twist anyway. Why? I have absolutely no idea. What could possibly be bad about someone trying to HELP? Even if the proposed idea is not suited as a solution to the problem at hand, there’s different, more respectful ways to express this, especially towards a person you do not know.
But yeah, I’m not trying to defend the things Musk said by any means, I’m just saying the guy he said those things to isn’t exactly completely innocent of any mistakes either.
You know how it is these days. Once you are offended by someone saying something stupid, you are supposed to stay offended and want the guy crucified even when said guy apologizes. It has been getting worse for the last several years. Elon Musk said something stupid but he apologized and backed down after apologizing. The total opposite of Roseanne Barr who apologized for what she said but immediately started being a total bitch to anyone & everyone that didn’t stand up for her.
Yeah! Roseanne was REAL sorry for her racist remarks! *rolls eyes*
I get why Twitter is Dark Souls: both involve being a bit of a masochist in order to enjoy them. Twitter is full of toxic users so you need to have a high threshold for pain in order to deal with them and not go insane. Dark Souls requires having a high threshold for pain in order to continue to play the game with how difficult it is so it doesn’t drive you insane with rage. lol
Dark Souls isn’t that hard. Monster Hunter on the other hand But yeah, what you say makes some sense in his tweet xP
He is shitposting and you’re reporting on it like it is news(worthy).
Please stop doing this.
People here can’t take a joke
Does this effect Nintendo: No
Does this effect the company: No
So why y’all gotta get triggered by this
Edit: no one is hating on this in Twitter shouldn’t we feel good about this because a rich dude know Zelda I mean comparing it might be dumb but a joke is a joke and he makes tons of joke just look at his Twitter page but I doubt it cuz y’all just to lazy to accept that this is a joke I’m not hating on y’all but let’s not be that type of person who judge people for no reason
Yeah. I think they are taking this too seriously. I honestly laughed when I read the tweet.
1. it’s affect, not effect
2. he didn’t mean it like a joke, in that case there’d be an emoji (why? because he uses them a lot)
3. news don’t have to be about the N to get people angry
Didn’t you know? Comedy is dead. Too many people these days have a stick up their ass.
I don’t understand why Nintendo wants us to and force us to have an Twitter account for Splatoon 2 drawing.
Rest in Peace Miiverse !
MIIVERSE blows twitter away ! it was way better and I refuse making a twitter account, it’s full of rage, toxic, politics, propaganda and constant people attacking, arguing, bitter retweeting with own opinion.
If you wanna see the Ego go humans dear aliens just check twitter. It’s the ego Hive mind.
RIP Miiverse it was REAL Social Media, because it was social ! and about GAMES ONLY !
I really miss Miiverse, Rip Iwata and Wii U is underrated.
Only Nintendo fans understand.
I know but this is a nintendo news site not report news about some nobody tweets news, we come here for game news not trash like this.
I have a Wii U and used Miiverse on occasion- it was a total trainwreck. The only real use it had was in Splatoon for graffiti (ironically, saying “graffiti” on Miiverse could and would get you flagged for “criminal activity” because of the stick-up-their-asses admins) and Mario Maker where I could use posts to tell a story or leave a cryptic clue in a level I made. Outside of those, Miiverse was trash.
Soo… does this mean that Miiverse is Wii Sports since they’re both dead?
Since when it became popular to talk shit about the man that will soon send the first man to Mars and popularize electric cars in the world? jesus the comments have to be written by 12-year-olds or left extremist.
Since he started having totally unrealistic visions and acting like an idiot.
Jeezus. How did this become such an inflammatory topic?
Kudos to the author of this post.
