Elon Musk Rejects Chess

Do u still play chess? I did as a child, but found it to be too simple to be useful in real life: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, no technology tree, no random map or spawn position, only 2 players, both sides exact same pieces, etc.

A screenshot shows a Twitter exchange where someone asks Elon Musk whether he still plays chess. Musk humorously dismisses chess as too simple compared with strategy video games, listing missing features such as fog of war, technology trees, random maps, and unequal pieces. It is used as a reaction to someone overcomplicating a simple activity or valuing games over traditional pastimes.
