Can ‘Elden Ring’ Rescue Twitter? Elon Musk Seems to Think So

It’s not entirely clear whether Elon Musk‘s mind is racing at two hundred kilometers per hour in a mental Tesla or if it’s the equivalent of a cart pulled by donkeys, but the fact remains that every day brings a new update from the Twitter mogul (he believes he’s the mogul of X, but that’s not going to happen). This weekend, we not only discovered that he wants to remove the block option, but also that he wants to redesign the page… And it seems he knows where to start.

Twitter Ring

This isn’t the first time Elon Musk has mentioned ‘Elden Ring‘ on his account: he did so back in May, making it clear that he has no idea how the game works. Of course, he believes he does, with that arrogance that only a 13-year-old hiding in the body of a 50-year-old can have – the kind who thinks putting a flashy X above your offices is really cool and everyone will applaud your audacity.

It turns out the game came up again recently as part of a mishmash of “creative” ideas: first, he tweeted, “We need to make the interface much prettier” (there’s nothing wrong with the Twitter interface). Fifteen minutes later, he made it clear that “Elden Ring is one of the most beautiful works of art ever created.” Do these two statements have a connection? Probably.

It would be strange for someone to transition from brainstorming about the most important visual aspect of their webpage to thinking about an unrelated video game. Perhaps he’s considering copying the menus from Hidetaka Miyazaki’s title, or maybe he’ll just take the idea of permanently activating “dark mode” from them (something he has suggested doing and has fortunately not yet implemented).

Or perhaps it’s simply an attempt to portray his thoughts as a runaway locomotive filled with concepts. Shortly thereafter, he did, after all, declare that Twitter is the “collective consciousness of humanity” and tried to play with words while being in the capital of Japan, writing “The Fast & The Fanciful: Tokyo Drift 2023.” With his track record of poor decisions, it wouldn’t be surprising if upon entering the page, before being able to tweet, we’d have to face a “You’ve died” message before doing anything. It’s a thought from a 13-year-old’s mind, so it might just fit his modus operandi, after all.
