Elon Musk's controversial X (formerly Twitter) post about Grand Theft Auto 5 soon after the GTA 6 trailer’s release has generated a lot of buzz on social media. In response to user @KettlebellLife, who said they had never played any of the titles from Rockstar Games' franchise, Musk said he could not proceed from the GTA 5 prologue as it required players to attack cops. He wrote:
"Tried, but didn't like doing crime. GTA 5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn't do it."
Trending
The comment has caused much controversy since fans have been waiting for the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer for a long time.
The GTA 6 trailer has gained more than 100 million views in just over one day. According to the Guinness World Records, it has broken multiple records and might continue doing so for quite some time.

Fans catch X user lying about Grand Theft Auto 5
Ian Miles Cheong said he completely agrees with Elon Musk's statement, adding that he is glad games like Cyberpunk 2077 make it optional to shoot cops. He also stated that he never completed GTA 5.
However, according to community notes shared by different users, Cheong has written several articles about Grand Theft Auto 5 and has described killing cops and pedestrians in detail.
One user even dug up an older post by him in which he praised the story and gameplay of Grand Theft Auto 5.
After the trailer's release, fans are now hoping that Rockstar Games will start the GTA 6 pre-orders soon.
