Here's what Elon Musk had to say about the Tesla x PUBG Mobile collab

Right after the update was made available globally, fans had been expecting some reaction from Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk.

Earlier today, Elon Musk took to Twitter to share his reaction to the official Tesla x PUBG Mobile trailer and one-word caption. The 48-second video clip depicts the latest Tesla-elements added to the game.
