Elon Musk’s love of video games is well-documented. The night he decided to buy Twitter, the social media platform now known as X, he played video games until 5:30 a.m., his biographer Walter Isaacson reveals in a massive new book out today. Musk even made his own video game as a kid and thought about going into a career designing them, but, he told Isaacson, he "wanted to have more impact." His longtime companion Grimes, with whom he has three children, described him to Isaacson as not having “hobbies or ways to relax other than video games, but he takes those so seriously that it gets very intense.”
In recent years, Isaacson reveals, Musk has become particularly obsessed with the multiplayer strategy game Polytopia, which describes itself as a "strategy game about building a civilization and going into battle."
