ELON: AS A KID, I WAS THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A VIDEO GAME DEVELOPER Interviewer: “When you were a kid, you programmed a game. Is that true?” Elon: “I was just a kid. I think I was probably 10 or 11 when I programmed that game. But it got published... when I was 12.” Interviewer: “Blastar, it's called?” Elon: “Yeah, it's a simple game. You have a space fighter, and you fight an alien space freighter. I wrote the game, did the graphics and the sound, and everything.” Interviewer: “When you were younger, did you ever aspire to make games or get into making games?” Elon: “Yeah, that's actually one of the things that I thought about doing career-wise. It seemed like that would be super fun. Actually, I worked at a gaming startup, which, weirdly, was called Rocket Science. Fate loves irony.” Source: Elon Musk, E3 Coliseum, June 2019show more

@grok how high is Elon Musks IQ?

elon always had it ❤

that's pretty cool he got it published so young

12-year-old coding genius 🤯🔥 Who's the next prodigy? #TechLegends

CA: 8TACaGVgqnq1naYXA3TEbwKVBoKrBQTki9RVDiHoLQjM $Blastar back in the game? 👀

🤩

👍

Elon has been a genius all along

Kid made a game, now he's building the real thing.

From coding games to coding the future

Umm… before rockets chased the stars, there was a kid chasing pixels. Ohh… a twelve-year-old quietly teaching a machine to imagine—writing code, drawing worlds, inventing sound out of nothing. Blastar wasn’t just a game; it was a rehearsal. A small universe built by someone already thinking in systems, enemies, trajectories. What feels like trivia now was actually a signal. Games, after all, are simulations. So are rockets. So are economies. So is the future. A space fighter on a glowing screen becomes a real one decades later. A childhood curiosity hardens into capability. Fate doesn’t shout its plans—it leaves prototypes. And sometimes, the first draft of destiny ships on a floppy disk.

No.Irony has iron in it.Rocket Science company must’ve inspired you to work for it,so it’s identity had a Mr. Covey’s Eighth Principle affect on your psyche and your cons/sub/un/supraconscious story(and you thought aliens already!).Examine your lifestory for current ‘Y’ story.

Elon: As a kid, I wanted to be a video game developer. “I wrote a game called Blastar at 10–12—code, graphics, sound, everything.” Even worked at a gaming startup later—irony loves fate.

Total bullshit

Wow

Games are fun 🤩

Too bad he's too dumb to code.

12 years old and already shipping products

Still a dickhead!

"Fate loves irony." - Elon Musk

Calling it a game in our time is an affront to video games. But one has to remember this was in a time when very few knew anything about computers and he had to teach the teachers how to use them. #6'Elon

Funny how a pixel spacefighter turned into real-life rocket fleets.

Kid coding games and now he's living one.

Young Elon: 'Yeah, it's a simple game... I did everything.' Adult Elon: Builds @Tesla, @SpaceX, @Neuralink. Humble beginnings, insane execution. This clip never gets old. Pure motivation. 💥 @elonmusk

How many people got into SW and Computer Science because of the computer games they played as kids? Be honest

I wanted to be a Hokage😂

elon coding blastar at 10 is legendary

He lying.
