Musk’s first major project may have only featured just basic directional controls and one useable weapon. The Tesla owner aspired to do more in this business but sadly, he did not get the right role that he envisioned. Musk found himself working for Rocket Science Games (RGS) and was responsible for writing the drivers, designing the control interface, organizing the routine, and so on.

The short-lived career in the video games industry may haven’t panned out how Musk had anticipated, but he is still keeping in touch with his gamer side. In one of his tweets, the businessman took aim at Rockstar Games for milking GTA V to the ground. He shared a pretty on-point meme, which incited a response from the fans.
