Just in case Fortnite wasn’t popular enough, it got another shoutout from the world’s most controversial tech figure at the moment, Elon Musk, this weekend. Just build, LOL!” referencing a common “git gud” style Fortnite meme. So, could Elon Musk buy Fortnite and delete it? Well, his net worth keeps fluctuating due to Tesla’s stock price, but by last count Musk is worth about $19.7 billion. So yeah, if Elon Musk liquidated about half his fortune, he might actually be able to buy Epic Games and then promptly flush that money down the toilet by shuttering its most popular product.
