Elon Musk went on his social media platform X to briefly offer his experience with popular video game franchise “Grand Theft Auto.”
“Tried, but didn’t like doing crime,” he wrote in an X post late Monday. “GTA5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn’t do it.”
Rockstar Games, a video game label under Take-Two Interactive Software, put out “Grand Theft Auto V” about 10 years ago. In that time frame, gamers have picked up over 190 million units of the title, with Take-Tow having reporting it took just three days of being on the market back then for it to bring in over $1 billion in retail sales.
