The Battle of Polytopia developers pay tribute to Elon Musk after he Tweets about their game

When he's not organising the drilling of holes in cities or sending cars off into space just because Elon Musk plays a game known as The Battle of Polytopia. He was recently tweeting about the game, theorising that we basically live in Polytopia. He's a big believer in the whole 'the world is a simulation theory'.

As a response, developers Midjiwan have created a video where they've modded him into the game. So now he is definitely living in Polytopia, at least in one corner of the internet. The video, which can be seen below, shows Elon Musk as a member of the Xin-xi tribe.

He can also gain access to one of his more well-known innovations, the Tesla. Interestingly, the Tesla is all-out attack with very little defence. Not sure if that's Midjiwan making a statement or simply straight swapping a different unit. Either way, the Tesla is able to move a reasonable distance in one turn.

Though he's not actually in the game this undoubtedly very cute. Midjiwan is clearly very pleased that the tech entrepreneur plays their game and felt like making a small tribute to him. It's not the first time Musk has tweeted about the game either.

He responded to one user on Twitter a while back who asked him what games he was playing where he said Polytopia. He also stated that he was going to try Stellaris, so the man is clearly a fan of strategy game, which isn't really too surprising.

Not too long ago Musk was asking for game developers to create games for his electric cars. Seeing as he's clearly a fan of Polytopia maybe that would be a good option if they ever decided to add to its current library of games.

The Battle of Polytopia is available on the App Store and Google Play. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
