Absolutely bizarre.
Utterly cringe, that they think Elon is some kind of draw to Genshin players.

Basically so many people were disappointed with Genshin Impact's Anniversary this year Discord was being spammed with this Qiqi sticker. It actually got to a point where they had to put a time restriction on posts where you had a 20-30 minute timeout before you could post again, but it still didn't stop the Qiqi spam. Eventually I believe they removed the sticker altogether, but then people just started posting ASCII art of her.
Unfortunately I missed the whole thing since the GI Discord group is full and I couldn't join. :(
I would say they are not aware that Elon Musk is a double edge sword for publicity.
Probably kinda based it on his curated image in China.
They'll laugh about it but keep playing tbh. Not that I take issue with that.
cheers! was out of the loop and saw the image everywhere without explanations lol
welp
I'm glad that I at least learned that Elon Musk has basic ass taste in anime from this cringefest.
Oh damn, the man himself typing "Genshin Impact" on his tweet, lol.
Stream & HQ visit incoming.
Or not.
It would be hilarious if they added him into the game.
Genshin's monetisation is super capitalist like Elon
Ew I hate this. Just knowing they were considering this seriously causes my opinion of MiHoYo to take a pretty big hit
This is one of the best things on the internet.Same energy
Bonus:
I'm very confused by the PR person that thought this was anything other than a vastly strange thing to do.
This is almost as embarrassing as when Star Trek Discovery put Musk as one of the most inspiring people.
I doubt they're actually considering it seriously. Their main account barely even has 2 million followers, so they can't really expect this side account reaching 5 million, right? The whole thing reads more like a misguided, eewie joke.
They're not even going to put him in the game as a reward? That's bull.
By "put him in" I mean Jumanji style.
Then launch the servers into the sun.
