Interestingly, not everyone is keen on GTA's violent themes. In a late 2023 post, Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), expressed his personal distaste for the game's crime-centric narrative. Musk noted that he tried playing GTA V but didn't like the obligation to engage in criminal activity.

Despite his reservations about GTA, Musk is an avid gamer. He expressed his admiration for other popular titles such as Elden Ring and Diablo IV and has even taken steps to integrate gaming deeper into the X platform through X Gaming. Last month, X Gaming announced a new deal with top streamers, signaling Musk's interest in expanding the platform's influence in the gaming community.

With all the excitement surrounding GTA 6 and the evolving gaming landscape, fans are gearing up for what could be one of the most influential releases in video game history.
