In one of the more unexpected celebrity engagements, Taylor "Tfue" Tenney spoke with Tesla & SpaceX CEO Elon Musk via Twitter about playing Fortnite in a Tesla.

It seems like every day, the gaming industry and the world of A-list celebrities merge closer together. We’ve had Drake and Ninja playing Fortnite together, we had Ellen DeGeneres invite Ninja on her show, Ninja featured in a Samsung commercial with Travis Scott… okay, a lot of it revolves around Ninja. A different Fortnite pro has made the news now though, as Turner “Tfue” Tenney, pro player for FaZe Clan, had an entertaining Twitter exchange with Tesla & SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

Tfue tagged Musk in a tweet complaining about his internet speeds, on the off-chance he might be able to help him with a faster connection. Musk replied with a simple “Yes”, followed by Tfue explaining how Musk’s reply has convinced him to buy a Tesla. Musk then presents a very interesting question indeed: “What are some of the most fun games we could have on a Tesla? Classic Atari is just the start.”

Musk was referring to the recent news that Pole Position, Tempest and Missile Command would be added to Tesla vehicles with the 9.0 software update. Tfue’s a fan, but of course, his first suggestion was to include Fortnite on a Tesla. We’re not sure how well that’d work as it requires considerably more concentration than classic Atari titles. He quickly went on to say that “any of the classics on Atari or Nintendo 64 would be incredible.”

If Fortnite isn’t capable of coming to the Tesla, why not Skyrim? We’ve seen it on so many platforms already, including the Amazon Alexa, so a Tesla isn’t too much of a stretch. Or maybe live Fortnite Skirmish streams? That way people can enjoy Fortnite esports on the go. Just don’t watch it while you’re driving.

Tfue’s been in the news a lot lately. Firstly, he demonstrated an exploit that allows players to destroy most of Tilted Towers in record time. Then he won back-to-back solo events in the  Fortnite Fall Skirmish! The man is unstoppable.
