In the gaming industry, rumors tend to spread like wildfire, and sometimes they can get quite bizarre. One recent rumor that caught attention was the speculation of Elon Musk buying Fortnite, the popular battle royale game developed by Epic Games. However, let’s clear things up right away – Elon Musk did not buy Fortnite. It’s simply a goofy rumor that gained traction due to Elon’s reputation for making extravagant purchases.
The origin of this particular rumor can be traced back to a tweet Elon Musk made in 2018. He shared a headline that stated “Elon Musk buys Fortnite and deletes it,” along with a fake quote about saving kids from “eternal virginity.” Elon added the caption “Had to been done ur welcome.” While this tweet may have caused some confusion, it was clearly meant as a joke and no actual acquisition took place.
So rest assured, Elon Musk did not buy Fortnite, and there is no need to worry. Now that we have cleared this up, we can all return to our regularly scheduled programming. And for those Fortnite fans out there, be sure to check out Twinfinite’s coverage of the upcoming season of Fortnite Chapter 3.
