Earlier this year, a social media banter between Elon Musk and AI Tech CEO Guillermo Rauch went viral. The two tech leaders agreed that GTA 6 could be made in minutes thanks to AI. In other words, they claimed that before Rockstar Games releases the long-awaited game, the deed can be carried out by AI.
‘There’s definitely a non-zero chance we get “generate your own GTA6 in a few minutes” before GTA6,’ said Rauch and Musk commented ‘Yeah’ on his post. And now, Take Two CEO has reportedly responded to this claim while speaking at Semafor World Economy 2026.

According to a report in IGN, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar Games’ parent company Take Two, has now responded to Musk. He said that if AI were to take anybody’s job it would be Musk’s as he is the “richest man on earth with unlimited wealth.”
Zelnick was quoted saying by IGN, “If AI were going to get rid of employment, the richest man on Earth, Elon Musk, knows a little something about AI, last time I checked. He has unlimited financial resources, and he has unlimited human resources, and he has, apparently, an unlimited number of ideas. He knows his way around AI.”
He added, “The man works 20 hours a day. If AI were going to take anyone’s job, wouldn’t it take his job? The richest guy on Earth, wouldn’t that be job number one for AI to take? Why is he so busy?”
This wasn’t the first time that Musk was seen talking about GTA games. From saying that GTA 5 is “too violent” to claiming that he won’t play GTA 6 even when it launches, the Tesla boss has made headlines time and again.
For instance, in December 2023, Musk wrote on X, “Tried, but didn’t like doing crime. GTA5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn’t do it.” The post has 18.1M views to date and some comments from passionate GTA fans.
