Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick suggests AI should replace Elon Musk instead of game developers, responding to Musk's claims that AI could generate GTA 6 in minutes.
Part 1
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has publicly fired back at Elon Musk over claims that artificial intelligence could generate games like Grand Theft Auto 6 in just minutes.
Part 2
During a conversation at Semafor World Economy 2026, Zelnick addressed Musk's earlier comments on his social media platform, where the Tesla and X boss responded 'yeah' to a post suggesting there was a 'non-zero chance' that users could 'generate your own GTA 6 in a few minutes' using AI.
Part 3
Zelnick pointed out the irony of Musk's position, stating: 'If AI were going to get rid of employment, the richest man on Earth, Elon Musk, knows a little something about AI. He has unlimited financial resources, and he has unlimited human resources. 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? By the way, why am I working harder than ever despite the fact that we have AI?'
