“If we’re gonna do video game stuff at the Texas Giga Factory, perhaps one could work in the more cartoonish franchises merchandise (Super Mario, Pokemon, Sonic the Hedgehog) while another group works on the other more realistic game franchises merchandise (God of War, Metal Gear Solid, Elden Ring),” his tweet read.

“That way, more people who like video games would be incentivized to come to the factory.”
