Game Developer Received Respond From Elon Musk After Persistently Tweeting Him 154 Times

20/01/2021

Elon Musk is best known as a serial entrepreneur with a list of publicly-traded companies under his sleeves.

There is no denying that as one of the co-founders and the CEO of some of the companies, Musk that has been named the richest man on Earth, is a busy man.

As a matter of fact, Musk is known as a workaholic who dedicates most of his efforts and time, including his own money, for the success of his companies.

And here, a video game creator from Bulgaria managed to get the busy man's attention, after 153 failed attempts to reach the billionaire on Twitter.

The independent developer Lyubomir Vladimirov promised to publish the same message, once every day, for a year. His intention was to ask Musk for permission to develop a game inspired by SpaceX , his space exploration company.

"Dear Elon. I am a game developer and I am making a game about the colonization of Mars with you and SpaceX. If you think it's cool, all I need is a 'go ahead' to use your name and logos. I will post this every day for a year or until I get a 'yes' or a 'no'”, said the video game creator's Twitter post.

On his 154th post, which happened after 22 weeks of sharing that same message again and again, the CEO of Tesla finally heeded Vladimirov's and answered his request.

After receiving the long-awaited response from Elon Musk, the enthusiastic Twitter user promised that a good part of the video game's profits would go to SpaceX .

“I want to give 80% of the profits from the game to SpaceX. In that way, the game will not only serve the important purpose of entertaining people and arousing their interest in Mars, but will also help Elon Musk and SpaceX to achieve this, ” wrote the programmer.

Many other Twitter users commented on his work and wanted to give him a helping hand for the project.

But for Vladimirov, his intention at this time, isn't about making money, saying that "money is not everything."

"If after some years I know that I helped fund the biggest mission in the history of man."

Vladimirov has shown that he wasted no time while waiting for Musk's permission. Through his Twitter profile, Vladimirov has shared many videos and images that show the interface of the game he is creating, that could be dated back to August 2020.

At that time, Vladimirov revealed a Tesla Cybertruck as a vehicle on Mars.

It should be noted that Musk is an avid Twitter user, known to share tweets at least once every few days. But just like any others on the platform that have tons of followers, there is no chance for Musk to respond to all queries addressed to him.

For Vladimirov, it took him 154 tries.
