'ONLINE DOESN'T COUNT'

Elon Musk and Fortnite in hilarious ‘eternal virginity’ Twitter feud

ELON MUSK has joined the legion of people making their disapproval of Fortnite known.

He tweeted out a mocked-up headline for an online article which suggested he had bought Fortnite from Epic Games and was going to shut it down.

 It has been suggested that the compelling nature of the game leads players to neglect other areas of their lives

The reasoning behind this in the fake story was "to save these kids from eternal virginity".

These concerns echo those made by various groups of women earlier this year when they called for a ban on the game which was seriously disrupting their sex lives as it took over their partners' entire lives.

Epic Games responded to Musk's teasing on Twitter by mocking estimates it was going to take ten years for his SpaceX firm to set up a base on Mars, suggesting they "just build" it.

He responded in kind by pointing out "reality is hard"

One Fortnite pro chose to engage with the eccentric billionaire directly by claiming to have had sex for the first time since starting to play Fortnite, to which the monied madman simply responded "online doesn't count".

Fans online were generally split over who won the encounter, with some suggesting that Epic and Fortnite "took the L", while others suggested the unedifying spectacle left everyone worse off.

Earlier this month Prince Harry made his feelings about the game known, asking "what is wrong with parents" who let their children play the smash-hit online phenomenon when they're still younger than the game's rating of 12.
