From Tweets To Streams: Elon Musk's X Aims To Revolutionize Game Broadcasting

Zinger Key Points
  • Musk says "kids, friends and video games" are how he spends his "non-work waking hours."
  • Game streaming on the social media platform is available for X Premium members, although it could expand to more users.

X owner Elon Musk is steering the platform towards the gaming broadcast arena, positioning it as a potential competitor to industry leaders.

Musk is now venturing into game streaming, with platforms like Twitch, YouTube and Facebook Gaming already having a solid foothold in the game broadcasting sector.

In response to a video post by Mark Kalman about X's broadcasting capabilities on Saturday, Musk stated, "You can stream games and anything you want on X."

He also mentioned that "kids, friends, and video games" are how he spends his "non-work waking hours."

Access to this feature on X Media Studio is reserved for X Premium members. Yet, Musk's vision seems expansive, suggesting that he might also roll out paid memberships to the broader X community, enabling more users to engage in game streaming.

In response to Musk's post, a parody account uploaded a slow-motion video on the X platform of Musk firing a rifle. The account wrote, "Next time let’s livestream this."

While it's still unclear whether partnerships with prominent game publishers are in the pipeline for X's game streaming initiative, the mere idea of Musk streaming himself playing video games could be a game-changer for the platform.
