After the GTA 6 trailer was released, Elon Musk, the owner of Space X, Twitter X, Tesla, and multiple companies, stated he has tried playing GTA but he does not like doing violence. That’s the reason he is not a fan of the GTA franchise.
Andrew Tate, a controversial social media figure, expressed his reason for not liking GTA 6. After the release of the GTA 6 trailer, Tate revealed his reason on his live stream on the Rumble platform, saying, “I just don’t think that’s good for society. With all the amazing graphics and whatever people put into these video games, I feel like you could create a better objective with the game.”
