Philanthropist and entrepreneur Elon Musk recently tweeted about the popular League of Legends television show Arcane. And while the tweet did not really contain any phrase or word meant to trigger a reaction, it led two popular League of Legends personalities — Froskurinn and Macaiyla — to clash against each other nonetheless.

Froskurinn did not take the tweet lightly and felt it was ironic that Musk posted it. This led Cloud9's streamer Macaiyla to respond quite aggressively.


League of Legends streamer Macaiyla felt that Froskurinn read too much into Elon Musk's tweet

Musk's tweet about League of Legends' popular animated series Arcane was primarily focussed on Jinx, one of the protagonists of the series and someone who's had a troubled life.

However, popular League of Legends personality Froskurinn felt that Musk's tweet was ironic, since Jinx's life was ruined by people with "capitalist endeavors."

She wanted to convey that Musk is also a capitalist and that him making a tweet about Jinx is a form of hypocrisy. Froskurinn seemed to imply that the billionaire's tweet had an ulterior motive behind it.

However, several people in the community, including Cloud9's streamer and Tyler1's girlfriend Macaiyla claimed that Musk probably just enjoyed the show like everyone else.

Musk is known to have a predilection towards animated shows and television series. He has always been fond of Japanese anime like Death Note, Evangelion and Full Metal Alchemist.

As such, he might have simply enjoyed Arcane and become fond of Jinx, like many others in the community. That's what Macaiyla felt, as she claimed she does not wish to deal with people who dig into things unnecessarily and will block Froskurinn.

That led to a small Twitter battle between the two. Macaiyla's last tweet regarding the issue was on December 19, when she once again took a sarcasm-laced shot at Froskurinn!

It's safe to say that things are still heated between the two League of Legends personalities. However, Musk, who runs two of the biggest companies in the world — Tesla Motors and SpaceX — is likely nonplussed by these events.
