Elon Musk reveals real reason why he won't be playing GTA 6

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has revealed the real reasons why he does not like the Grand Theft Auto series and will not be playing GTA 6 when it releases.

Speaking with Nikhil Kamath on the People by WTF podcast, when asked if he's played GTA, Musk said: "I've only played a little bit of GTA because I didn't like the fact that... Like in GTA 5, you literally can't progress unless you kill the police.

"And I'm like 'this doesn't work for me'. I actually don't like killing the NPCs in video games. That's not my thing.

"I actually stopped when it said the only way to proceed is to shoot at the police. I'm like 'I don't want to do that'."
