Elon Musk Called Out For Stolen Elden Ring Meme
screenrant.comWorld-famous tech guru and billionaire Elon Musk is currently being criticized on Twitter due to him sharing an Elden Ring meme without crediting the original creator. The popular inventor and CEO has been involved in miscellaneous gaming stories and controversies much more than his contemporaries. A recent example of this is the bizarre Elon Musk Genshin Impact crossover last year.
Elden Ring has been smashing international records in the world of gaming since its release in late February. Many long-time fans of FromSoftware are considering the ambitious open-world game to be the most accessible the studio has ever made, which has likely played a role in its popularity. As a worldwide gaming phenomenon, naturally, Elden Ring has spawned a number of viral memes. While many of these memes are simply absurd, others poke fun at particular aspects of the game's design, including its infamous difficulty level, obscure storytelling, and perplexing environment design. A recent meme even used The Incredibles's Edna Mode to make fun of Elden Ring's garment-altering feature. Some memes look beyond the game itself and tease the culture it has spawned within the gaming community.
