Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick Speculates On Whether Elon Musk, Who Stopped Playing GTA, Has Been Replaced By AI

April 20, 2026 by Ryan Parreno

Strauss doesn’t need Elon to play GTA anymore.

Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has shared an interesting theory about Elon Musk.

He said this in a recent Semaphor event:

The richest man on Earth, Elon Musk, knows a little something about AI, the last time I checked. He has unlimited financial resources, and he has unlimited human resources, and apparently he has an unlimited number of ideas.

You know, he knows his way around AI. The man works 20 hours a day. Like, if AI would take anyone’s job, wouldn’t it take his job? Wouldn’t that be the number one job for AI to take? Why is he so busy?

BTW, why am I working harder than ever despite the fact that I’ve accepted AI in every part of my AI.

…In fairness, if you had to choose a person who was a simulation, he would be my number one choice.

Some fans speculate this has something to do with Elon saying that he no longer plays GTA. Now, we doubt that Strauss is that worried about not getting Elon’s money, but this may have more to do with Strauss’ stance on AI.
